I wanted to land on my head and lose half of it, or land on my legs and lose one or both.

My great responsibilities? — William Butler Yeats

Thus then lived this folk in much plenty and ease of life, though not delicately nor desiring things out of measure.

back home to the escapes of Time and Memory. — Thomas Wolfe
