• Science in England is not a profession: its cultivators are scarcely recognised even as a class. Our language itself contains no single term by which their occupation can be expressed. We borrow a foreign word [Savant] from another country whose high ambition it is to advance science, and whose deeper policy, in accord with more generous feelings, gives to the intellectual labourer reward and honour, in return for services which crown the nation with imperishable renown, and ultimately enrich the human race.

• The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
  Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
  And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown
  An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
  Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer,
  The childing autumn, angry winter, change
  Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,
  By their increase, now knows not which is which.

  William Shakespeare

• I was a heavy heart to carry
  My beloved was weighed down
  My arms around his neck
  My fingers laced to crown.
  I was a heavy heart to carry
  My feet dragged across ground
  And he took me to the river
  Where he slowly let me drown
  My love has concrete feet
  My love's an iron ball
  Wrapped around your ankles
  Over the waterfall

  Florence Welch

• Far away in Montana, hidden from view by clustering mountain-peaks, lies an unmapped northwestern corner- the Crown of the Continent. The water from the crusted snowdrift which caps the peak of a lofty mountain there trickles into tiny rills, which hurry along north, south, east and west, and growing to rivers, at last pour their currents into three seas. From this mountain-peak the Pacific and the Arctic oceans and the Gulf of Mexico receive each its tribute. Here is a land of striking scenery.

• You may wear your virtues as a crown,
  As you walk through life serenely,
  And grace your simple rustic gown
  With a beauty more than queenly.
  Though only one for you shall care,
  One only speak your praises;
  And you never wear in your shining hair,
  A richer flower than daisies.

  Phoebe Cary

• The struggle for socialism is the struggle for proletarian (working class) democracy. Proletarian democracy is not the crown of socialism. Socialism is the result of proletarian democracy. To the degree that the proletariat mobilizes itself and the great masses of the people, the socialist revolution is advanced. The proletariat mobilizes itself as a self-acting force through its own committees, unions, parties, and other organizations.
