“The high tide!" King Alfred cried.
"The high tide and the turn!
As a tide turns on the tall grey seas,
See how they waver in the trees,
How stray their spears, how knock their knees,
How wild their watchfires burn!”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Ballad of the White Horse

“The men of the east may search the scrolls,
For sure fates and fame,
But the men that drink the blood of God go singing to their shame.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Ballad of the White Horse

“That was how the little prince tamed the fox. And when the time was near:
"Ah!" the fox said. "I shall weep."
"It's your own fault," the little prince said. "I never wanted to do you any harm, but you insisted that I tame you...."
"Yes, of course," the fox said.
"Then you get nothing out of it?"
"I get something," the fox said, "because of the color of the wheat." Then he added, "Go look at the roses again. You'll understand that yours is the only rose in all the world.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets oneself be tamed...”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
