  The headstones thicken along the way;

• Not a flower
  But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,
  Of his unrivall'd pencil. He inspires
  Their balmy odors, and imparts their hues,
  And bathes their eyes with nectar, and includes
  In grains as countless as the seaside sands,
  The forms with which he sprinkles all the earth
  Happy who walks with him!

  William Cowper

• The great constructive energies of the child ... have hitherto been concealed beneath an accumulation of ideas concerning motherhood. We used to say it was the mother who formed the child; for it is she who teaches him to walk, talk, and so on. But none of this is really done by the mother. It is an achievement of the child. What the mother brings forth is the baby, but it is the baby who produces the man. Should the mother die, the baby still grows up and completes his work of making the man.

  Maria Montessori

• On turf and curb and bower-roof
  The snow-storm spreads its ivory woof;
  It paves with pearl the garden-walk;
  And lovingly around the tatter'd stalk
  And snivering stem its magic weaves
  A mantle fair as lily-leaves.
