Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. Shovel them under and let me work- I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg. And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. Shovel them under and let me work. Two years, ten years,and passengers ask the conductor- What place is this? Where are we now? I am the grass. Let me work.
Carl SandburgA tough will counts. So does desire.So does a rich soft wanting.Without rich wanting nothing arrives.
Carl SandburgSuch a Big miracle in such a tiny baby. Big things often have small beginnings A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.
Carl SandburgThere is a wolf in me... - I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.
Carl SandburgHistory is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. History is a wind blowing where it listeth. History is no sure thing to bet on. History is a box of tricks with a lost key. History is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the Saragossa sea. History says, if it pleases, Excuse me, I beg your pardon, it will never happen again if I can help it.
Carl Sandburg
