"Nature, who has played so many queer tricks upon us, making us so unequally of clay and diamonds, of rainbow and granite, and stuffed them into a case, often of the most incongruous... a perfect rag-bag of odds and ends... stitched together by a single thread."
-Orlando
Virginia Woolf

'He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!'

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
