I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.
For hard it is to keep from being King When it's in you and in the situation.
For I thought Epicurus and Lucretius By Nature meant the Whole Goddam Machinery.
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred; Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
There is much in nature against us. But we forget: Take nature altogether since time began, Including human nature, in peace and war, And it must be a little more in favor of man....
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

Thinking is not to agree or disagree. That is voting.
An earthly dog of the carriage breed; Who, having failed of the modern speed, Now asked asylum and I was stirred To be the one so dog-preferred
Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
