Trust Thyself

"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."
                                            

                             Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune

                                                                Quoted in the opening of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self Reliance"

Darkened Seas

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

                                where every heart revealed itself, where every wine flowed."
