  Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
  Friendship without envy,
  Or beauty without vanity?
  Here, where grace is served with muscle
  And strength by gentleness confined
  He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
  There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
  There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
  ~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954

  i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings
  i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
  my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
  i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
  by only me is your doing,my darling)
  i fear
  no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
  no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
  and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
  and whatever a sun will always sing is you
  
  here is the deepest secret nobody knows
  (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
  and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
  higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
  and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
  
  i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
