“You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first.”
John Adams (1735–1826) 2nd President of the United States
Letter to Abigail Adams (28 April 1776)
1770s
Context: Is there no way for two friendly souls to converse together, although the bodies are 400 miles off? Yes, by letter. But I want a better communication. I want to hear your think, or to see your thoughts.
The conclusion of your letter makes my heart throb more than a cannonade would. You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first.
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939) Irish poet and playwright
Down By The Salley Gardens http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1476/ <br class="br">Crossways (1889) <br class="br">Context: p>Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;<br>She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.<br>She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;<br>But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.In a field by the river my love and I did stand,<br>And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.<br>She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;<br>But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.</p
Benjamin N. Cardozo (1870–1938) United States federal judge
