“O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,
How then should sound upon Lifes darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
The wind of Deaths imperishable wing?”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (18281882)

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Virtue rejects facility to be her companion.... She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.”
