Earth laughs in flowers to see her boastful boys

Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;

Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet

Clear of the grave.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882): Hamatreya.

Who with a body filled and vacant mind

Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Henry V. Act iv. Sc. 1.
