The stars sparkle, the whippoorwill calls,
But thou grievest, while my soul lies rapturous
In the blest Nirvana of eternal light!
(Sarah Brown)

In the dust with Milton's poems.

Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.

The urge of nature that made a man
Evolve from his brain a spiritual life --
Oh miracle of the world!

Who frowned not on the cup but loathed the rule
Democracy achieved thereby, the freedom
And lust of life it symbolized.
