Thinking cannot be clear until it has had expression-we must write, or speak, or act our thoughts, or they will remain in half torpid form.

So it is with all the inward feelings; expression gives them development-thought is the blossom; language is the opening bud; action the fruit behind it.

I liked the rain. It made it harder, the harder the better. I didn't see accidents but there are a lot of broken cars out there.

For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, Argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew, From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue.
