All are needed by each one ; 



Nothing is fair or good alone. 



I thought the sparrow's note from heaven, 



Singing at dawn on the alder bough ; 



I brought him home, in his nest, at even ; 



He sings the song, but it cheers not now, 



For I did not bring home the river and sky ; 



He sang to my ear, they sang to my eye. 



RALPH WALDO EMERSON : Each and AIL 



Not from his fellows only man may learn 



Rights to compare and duties to discern ; 



All creatures and all objects, in degree, 



Are friends and patrons of humanity. 



There are to whom the garden, grove, and field 



Perpetual lessons of forbearance yield ; 



Who would not lightly violate the grace 



The lowliest flower possesses in its place ; 



Nor shorten the sweet life, too fugitive, 



Which nothing less than infinite Power could give. 



WILLIAM WORDSWORTH : Humanity. 



Sounds drop in visiting from everywhere 

 The bluebird's and the robin's trill are there, 

 Their sweet liquidity diluted some 

 By dewy orchard spaces they have come.
