"The way of progress was never swift nor easy.” (Marie Curie)
"Very little can be done under the spirit of fear." (Florence Nightingale)

those dreams against which we so struggle;
those dreams go at last." (Florence Nightingale)
"Prejudice is more violent the blinder it is." (Elizabeth Blackwell)
"Fearfully, cautiously, and distrustingly
must we take many of our steps,
for we see a little way at best,
and we can foresee nothing at all." (Maria Mitchell)
"But our best and wisest refuge from our troubles
is in our science." (Ada Lovelace)
"We have a hunger of the mind.
The more we gain, the more is our desire." (Maria Mitchell)

Climb the Mountains
John Muir
Walk away quietly in any direction
and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.
Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows,
in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings,
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
Climb the mountains,
Taste the freedom,
Nature’s Peace,
Walk quietly.
(Text adapted from Our National Parks, by John Muir, 1901.)

Sestina Helps Pontypool My Hands Into Loving
Jahman Hill
These hands are meant to love.
Love these, too. Hands mean ours.
Our love meant these hands, too.
To our hands, love these meant.
Meant to these are love hands.
Hands meant love. Too are these
Love hands. These mean to ours
These hands are meant to love.
These are meant to love.
These hands too love.
These hands meant love.
These hands mean love.
These hands love.
These hands are meant to love.
Love these hands, too.
Love these hands,
Hands meant to love.
These meant love, once.
Are meant to.
These hands are meant to love.
These hands are meant to.
These hands are meant.
These hands are.
These hands.
These.
These hands are meant to love.
O, love me, hands. Rant, seethe at
Me. Revel on the sand, soot, an' heat
Sea rotten lovemates, the hand
Shots at me an end or the leave
Heart not love man, sees Death.

We came whirling
Out of nothingness
Scattering stars like dust
The stars made a circle
And in the middle we dance
There is a life force within your soul
Seek that life
There is a gem in the mountain of your body
Seek that mine
Oh traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself
And seek That
-Rumi

Break, Break, Break
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.
