    “With sweetest milk, and sugar, first
    I it as mine own fingers nurst.

    It wax’d more white and sweet than they.
    It had so sweet a Breath!”

    “The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The superstition respecting power and office is going to the ground. The stream of human affairs flows its own way, and is very little affected by the activity of legislators. What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
