Let those who are in favour with their stars(Sonnet 25)

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unloocked for joy in that I honour most.
Great prince's favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foiled,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled:
Then happy I, that love and me beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed

William Shakespeare

Daisy Fraser

Daisy Fraser

Did you ever hear of Editor Whedon
Giving to the public treasury any of the money he received
For supporting candidates for office?
Or for writing up the canning factory
To get people to invest?
Or for suppressing the facts about the bank,
When it was rotten and ready to break? c1uan: Avete
Did you ever hear of the Circuit Judge
Helping anyone except the “Q” railroad,
Or the bankers? Or did Rev. Peet or Rev. Sibley
Give any parte of their salary, earned by keeping still,
Or speaking out as the leaders wished them to do,
To the building of the water works?
To the building of the water works?
But I Daisy Fraser who always passed
Along the streets through rows of nods and smiles,
And coughs and words such as “there she goes “,
Never was taken before Justice Arnett
Without contributing ten dollars and costs
To the school fund of Spoon River!

Edgar Lee Masters

Freedom

And an orator said, "Speak to us of Freedom."
And he answered:
At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you
prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,
Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and
praise him though he slays them.
Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the
citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their
freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.
And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free
when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a
harness to you, and when you cease to speak of
freedom as a goal and a fulfillment.
You shall be free indeed when your days are not
without a care nor your nights without a want and a
grief,
But rather when these things girdle your life and yet
you rise above them naked and unbound.
And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights
unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of
your understanding have fastened around your noon
hour?
In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of
these chains, though its links glitter in the sun and
dazzle the eyes.
And what is it but fragments of your own self you
would discard that you may become free?
If it is an unjust law you would abolish, that law was
written with your own hand upon your own forehead.
You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by
washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour
the sea upon them.
And if it is a despot you would dethrone, see first that
his throne erected within you is destroyed.
For how can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, but for
a tyranny in their own freedom and a shame in their
won pride?
And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been
chosen by you rather than imposed upon you.
And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear
is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.
Verily all things move within your being in constant
half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the
repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that
which you would escape.
These things move within you as lights and shadows in
pairs that cling.
And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light
that lingers becomes a shadow to another light.
And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters
becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.

Kahlil Gibran

By Chivalries as tiny,

By Chivalries as tiny,
A Blossom, or a Book,
The seeds of smiles are planted
Which blossom in the dark.

Emily Dickinson
