Cody (old)/Quotes

The lonely farm, the crowded street,

The palace and the slum,

Give welcome to my silent feet

As, bearing gifts, I come.

Last night a beggar crouched alone,

A ragged helpless thing;

I set him on a moonbeam throne --

Today he is a king.

Last night a king in orb and crown

Held court with splendid cheer;

Today he tears his purple gown

And moans and shrieks in fear.

Not iron bars, nor flashing spears,

Not land, nor sky, nor sea,

Nor love's artillery of tears

Can keep mine own from me.

Serene, unchanging, ever fair,

I smile with secret mirth

And in a net of mine own hair

I swing the captive earth.

- Joyce Kilmer

"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."

"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."

Alice: Have i gone mad?

The Cheshire Cat: I'm afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.

Alice: How long is forever?

Over the years my ears and eyes adjusted.

Until the dark became my world.

And I could see.
