GIFTS
Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself . . . Therefore the poet brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the painter, his picture, the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. Ralph Waldo Emerson
