Invisible, as Music—
But positive, as Sound—
It beckons, and it baffles—

Contempt of Generations
And Crucifixion, shown—

And asks a Vane, the way—
Much Gesture from the Pulpit—

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.
Herman Melville, from Moby Dick
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Bears yet a precious jewel in it head.
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
I would not change it..

‘Til by turning, turning we come round right.

Emily Dickinson, 14 x 18 inches, $135
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. / I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight / For the ends of being and ideal grace. / I love thee to the level of every day’s / Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. / I love thee freely, as men strive for right. / I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. / I love thee with the passion put to use / In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. / I love thee with a love I seemed to lose / With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, / Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, / shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great, and would suffice.
Robert Frost, Fire and Ice
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely — having little or no money in my purse and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.
Herman Melville, from Moby Dick, 18 x 24 inches, $210
Two road diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no foot had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I would ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere age and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes and I certainly haven't been spreading myself around. I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb, but I'm good at being uncomfortable, so I can't stop changing all the time.
I notice that my opponent is always on the go and won’t go slow so's not to focus and I notice he'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as they go fast from whence he came, but he's no good at being uncomfortable
so he can't stop staying exactly the same.
If there was a better way to go then it would find me. I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me. Be kind to me, or treat me mean; I'll make the most of it — I'm an extraordinary machine.

I get too hungry for dinner at eight,
I like the theater but never go late,
I never bother with people I hate –
That’s why the lady is a tramp.
I don’t like crap games with barons and earls,
Won’t go to Harlem in ermine and pearls,
Don’t dish the dirt with the rest of the girls –
That’s why the lady is a tramp.
I like the free, fresh wind in my hair,
Life without care; I’m broke – it’s oke;
Hate California, it’s cold and it’s damp –
That’s why the lady is a tramp.

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Matthew Arnold, from Dover Beach, 12 x 18 inches, $85
