World Quotes
-
Ask of Her, the mighty Mother. Her reply puts this other Question: What is Spring?- Growth in every thing - Flesh and fleece, fur and feather, Grass and green world all together, Star-eyed strawberry breasted Throstle above Her nested Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin Forms and warms the life within, And bird and blossom swell In sod or sheath or shell.

Everyone tries to create a world he can live in, and what he can't use he often can't see.

If a happy state of things, surprising; if miserable or tragic, no worse than what we invent.
