How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?

The imagination is man's power over nature.

We have been a little insane about the truth. We have had an obsession.

Poetry is the scholar's art.

All of our ideas come from the natural world: trees equal umbrellas.

I measure myself Against a tall tree I find that I am much taller, For I reach right up to the sun With my eye; And I reach to the shore of the sea With my ear. Nevertheless, I dislike The way the ants crawl In and out of my shadow.

Frogs eat Butterflies, Snakes eat Frogs, Hogs eat Snakes, Men eat Hogs.
