to find in the soundscape is our man,
the bell of his horn sanctifying the notes
in remembrance, or joy that the damned

My Heart Leaps Up - by William Wordsworth

The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Winter-Time - by Robert Louis Stevenson

A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.

And yet I seek not to be grand nor witty,
But I am half a Scot by birth, and bred
A whole one, and my heart flies to my head.

Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth?
