Quote by Emily Dickinson

“To hear an Oriole sing May be a common thing — Or only a divine. It is not of the Bird Who sings the same, unheard, As unto Crowd — The Fashion of the Ear Attireth that it hear In Dun, or fair — So whether it be Rune, Or whether it be none Is of within. The "Tune is in the Tree —" The Skeptic — showeth me — "No Sir! In Thee!”

They have gone, The animals of the earth, They have returned Along their own trail. On a white rock under the Moon, On a red rock under the Sun, On a black rock they sat, On a yellow rock they rested And looked back and saw butterflies, They looked behind them and saw A whirlwind, And they watched the whirlwind And it was a tree Standing in a cool shadow. They sit under the tree in the shadow, They sit under the still tree. (page 68, The Great Wheat Harvest)”

“I wondered when Blayze would speak up, and he didn't disappoint. "I think Miss Kaylee swallowed her salad all wrong when I told her you had a crush on her. I know you said I'd have to walk to Billings if I didn't stop singing my song, but we're here now, so I want to sing it for her too. The entire table stilled--well, with the exception of Kaylee, who was groaning. Ty stared at his nephew. "I do not have a crush on Kaylee, Blayze. We already went over this. And you'll walk back home if you start that song.”
