~ Thought ~

Of Equality—as if it harm'd me, giving others the same
chances and rights as myself—as if it were not
indispensable to my own rights that others possess the
same.

- Walt Whitman, By the Roadside, c. 1860

~ Thought ~
Of obedience, faith, adhesiveness;
As I stand aloof and look there is to me something
profoundly affecting in large masses of men following
the lead of those who do not believe in men.

- Walt Whitman, By the Roadside, c. 1860

O the sailors—O the sails!
O the lost crews never heard of!
Well the harp of Ariel wails
Thoughts that tongue can tell no word of!

- Herman Melville, c. 1888

• From Heywood's poem Love's Good-Morrow. • Dramatist Thomas Heywood was born in Lincolnshire, England, and was a contemporary of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. Charles Lamb is said to have described him as a "prose Shakespeare. Heywood died in London in 1641. He wrote A Woman Killed with Kindness (1607), considered one of the first examples of middle-class tragedy. [Source: Poetry Foundation]

Pack clouds away, and welcome day,
With night we banish sorrow;
Sweet air, blow soft; mount, lark, aloft,
To give my love good morrow...

- Thomas Heywood, c. 1607
