XXVII
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear respose for limbs with travel tir\'d;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body\'s work\'s expired:
For then my thoughts--from far where I abide--
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul\'s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel (hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.
--William Shakespeare
The only reward of virtue is virtue. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Founding Fathers Quotes
Besides, to lay and collect internal taxes in this extensive country must require a great number of congressional ordinances,
immediately operation upon the body of the people; these must continually interfere with the state laws and thereby produce
disorder and general dissatisfaction till the one system of laws or the other, operating upon the same subjects, shall be
abolished.
Federal Farmer, Antifederalist Letter, October 10, 1787
Conversation in real life is full of half-finished sentences and
overlapping talk. Why shouldn\'t painting be too?
Edgar Degas
