More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
The Moon for all her light and grace Has never learned to know her place.
I shall set forth for somewhere, I shall make the reckless choice Some say when they are in voice And tossing so as to scare The white clouds over them on, I shall have less to say, But I shall be none.
The people I want to hear about are the people who take risks.
New is a word for fools in towns who think Style upon style in dress and thought at last Must get somewhere.
As a confirmed astronomer I'm always for a better sky.
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Tolerance is the uncomfortable feeling that in the end the other could be right.
The test is always how we treat the poor.
But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.
I have remained resentful to this day When any but myself presumed to say That there was anything I couldn't be.
The truth is the river flows into the canyon Of Ceasing-to-Question-What-Doesn't-Concern-Us, As sooner or later we have to cease somewhere.
But what would interest you about the brook, It's always cold in summer, warm in winter.
I hope to leave behind a few poems it will be hard to get rid of.
