• Cuando Mayo, con mechones trenzados de cowslip,
  camina por la tierra vestida de verde.
  Y quema en la hierba del prado el flox
  Su antorcha de fuego púrpura:
  Y cuando el puntual mayo llega
  con la hierba de los prados en su frente,
  Sabemos lo que una vez dio a nuestras vidas,
  y no puede darnos ahora.

• Te haces un tatuaje sabiendo que este cuerpo es tuyo para tenerlo y disfrutarlo mientras estés aquí. Te diviertes con él y nadie más puede controlar (supuestamente) lo que haces con él. Por eso el tatuaje es tan importante en la cárcel: es una expresión de libertad, una de las únicas expresiones de libertad que hay. Pueden encerrarte, controlarlo todo, pero 'tengo mi mente y puedo tatuarme el cuerpo, alterarlo a mi manera como un acto de voluntad personal'.

( Aristotle , and nearly two millennia of successors, designated the large bee that leads the swarm as a king.

• When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed. For there is often a monstrous incongruity between the hopes, however noble and tender, and the action which follows them. It is as if ivied maidens and garlanded youths were to herald the four horsemen of the apocalypse .

• A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle: and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. In poetic minds and in popular enthusiasm this feeling becomes closely associated with the soil and the symbols of the country. But the secret sanctification of the soil and the symbol is the idea which they represent, and this idea the patriot worships through the name and the symbol, as a lover kisses with rapture the glove of his mistress and wears a lock of her hair upon his heart.

• We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
