Emily Dickinson
“A precious, mouldering pleasure 't is
To meet an antique book,
In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think,

His venerable hand to take,
And warming in our own,
A passage back, or two, to make
To times when he was young.”
Emily Dickinson

Louisa May Alcott
“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
