Ralph Waldo Emerson

“ On waves and hedges still they burn
These the fates of men forecast,
Of better men than live to-day;
If who can read them comes at last,
He will spell in the sculpture, "Stay."

“ Which older forests bound;
The banks slope down to the blue lake-edge,
Then plunge in depths profound. ”
