Josephine Preston Peabody quotes

-- Josephine Preston Peabody -
“This is a marvel of the universe: To fling a thought across a stretch of sky-- Some weighty message, or a yearning cry, It matters not; the elements rehearse Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse The spacious heav'ns like homing birds that fly Unswervingly, until, upreached on high, A quickened hand plucks off the message terse.”
-- Josephine Preston Peabody -
“The little Road says, Go; The little House says, Stay; And oh, it's bonny here at home, But I must go away.”
