Oh, What Company Good Poets Are!

My Poems Are Like A Dagger Sprouting Flowers From The Hilt; My Poetry Is Like A Fountain Sprinkling Streams Of Coral Water.

Oh, What Company Good Poets Are!

The First Duty Of A Man Is To Think For Himself

Man Is A Living Duty, A Depository Of Powers That He Must Not Leave In A Brute State. Man Is A Wing.

It Is My Duty To Prevent, Through The Independence Of Cuba, The U.s.a. From Spreading Over The West Indies And Falling With Addedweight Upon Other Lands Of Our America. All I Have Done Up To Now And Shall Do Hereafter Is To That End.... I Know The Monster, Because I Have Lived In Its Lair--and My Weapon Is Only The Slingshot Of David.
