Loves Farewell

by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Light hearted, careless, shall I take my way,
When I to thee this being have resigned,
Well knowing where upon a future day,
With usurer's craft, more than myself to find.

    Who Knows?
    by Vachel Lindsay
    They say one king is mad. Perhaps. Who knows? They say one king is doddering and grey. They say one king is slack and sick of mind, A puppet for hid strings that twitch and play.
