Where the apple reddens never pry - lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Robert Browning
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
But little do or can the best of us: That little is achieved through Liberty.
