One who journeying Along a way he knows not, having crossed A place of drear extent, before him sees A river rushing swiftly toward the deep, And all its tossing current white with foam, And stops and turns, and measures back his way.
Homer

Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.
Homer
In saffron-colored mantle from the tides Of Oceans rose the Morning to bright light TO gods and men.
Homer
O friends, be men so act that none may feel Ashamed to meet the eyes of other men. Think each one of this children and his wife, His home, his parents, living yet and dead. For them, the absent ones, I supplicate, And bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.
Homer
