“Out of the hills of Habersham, Down the valleys of Hall, I hurry amain to reach the plain; Run the rapid and leap the fall, Split at the rock, and together again Accept my bed, or narrow or wide, And flee from folly on every side With a lover's pain to attain the plain, Far from the hills of Habersham, Far from the valleys of Hall.” RunningPainTogetherFallSidesAcceptingRocksLoversBedRiversWideHillsFollyHallsLeapValleysSplitsRapidsTogether Again Book:Poems of Sidney Lanier Source: Poems of Sidney Lanier

“Arrogance is a weed which grows upon a dunghill; it is from the rankness of the soil that she has her height and spreadings: witness, clowns, fools, and fellows, who from nothing, are lifted up some few steps on fortune's ladder: where, seeing the glorious representment of honour above them, they are so eager to embrace it, that they strive to leap thither at once, and by over-reaching themselves in the way, they fail of the end, and fall.” WayEndsFallGrowsStepsGrowing UpFailingSeeingFoolFellowsEmbraceFortuneStriveWitnessHeightArroganceGloriousSoilReachingLeapHonourWeedLaddersClown Author:Owen Feltham
