With silver claws and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.”

There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn’t have as far to fall.”
—Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
