“As for your friend, my prospective reader, I hope he ignores Fort Sumter, and “Old Abe,” and all that; for that is just the most fatal, and, indeed, the only fatal weapon you can direct against evil ever; for, as long as you know of it, you are particeps criminis. What business have you, if you are an “angel of light,” to be pondering over the deeds of darkness, reading the New York Herald, and the like.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s many a white hand holds an urn
With lovers’ hearts to dust consumed.”
—George Darley (1795–1846)
“Keep not your roses for my dead, cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.”
—Arabella Smith (1844–1916)
