Yet let us Thank the purblind race

by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Yet let us Thank the purblind race,
Who still have thought it good
With lasting stone to mark the place
Where braver men have stood.

In concord, town of quiet name
And quiet fame as well

    Hearthside
    by Dorothy Parker
    Half across the world from me Lie the lands I'll never see- I, whose longing lives and dies Where a ship has sailed away; I, that never close my eyes But to look upon Cathay.
