I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.

Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Image
But he had gone his way, the grass all mown, And I must be, as he had been - alone, As all must be, I said within my heart, Whether they work together or apart.

I own I never really warmed To the reformer or reformed. And yet conversion has its place Not halfway down the scale of grace.

The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.

There are tones of voices that mean more than words.

Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
