“I was a sitting target, in a way, for anybody who wanted to make some kind of headline.”
Cat Stevens (1948) British singer-songwriter
Interview on CBS News Sunday Morning (12 August 2007)
Context: I was a sitting target, in a way, for anybody who wanted to make some kind of headline. … I certainly never supported the Fatwa, but when I was asked about … the actual principle of blasphemy and capital punishment, well, like the Bible, I said, "You know, yeah, it's there, it's in the Koran." And I couldn't deny that.
“O Star (the fairest one in sight)
We grant your loftiness the right
To some obscurity of cloud —”
Robert Frost (1874–1963) American poet
" Take Something Like a Star http://somethingbeautiful.typepad.com/blog/2004/10/robert_frost_to.html" (1949) <br class="br">General sources <br class="br">Context: O Star (the fairest one in sight)<br>We grant your loftiness the right<br>To some obscurity of cloud —<br>It will not do to say of night,<br>Since dark is what brings out your light.<br>Some mystery becomes the proud.<br>But to be wholly taciturn<br>In your reserve is not allowed.<br>Say something to us that we can learn<br>By heart and when alone repeat.<br>Say something! And it says "I burn."

A Tree Telling of Orpheus (1968)
Context: He told of journeys,
of where sun and moon go while we stand in dark,
of an earth-journey he dreamed he would take some day
deeper than roots...
He told of the dreams of man, wars, passions, griefs,
and I, a tree, understood words – ah, it seemed
my thick bark would split like a sapling's that
grew too fast in the spring
when a late frost wounds it.
