<span>"His historical researches, however, did not lie so much among books as among men; for the former are lamentably scanty on his favorite topics; whereas he found the old burghers, and still more their wives, rich in that legendary lore, so invaluable to true history. Whenever, therefore, he happened upon a genuine Dutch family, snugly shut up in its low-roofed farmhouse, under a spreading sycamore, he looked upon it as a little clasped volume of black-letter,' and studied it with the zeal of a book-worm.""Rip Van Winkle," 1994 edition, 1-2

Poem:
Surrounded by noise
It sounds senseless
Dense and thick like
The smooth peanut butter
My mom used to layer on my sandwiches
Voices all around me
But I still feel so empty
Arms supporting me
Maybe I’ll be okay
I say
But I’m so afraid of being alone
I find comfort in things I remember
Like the color of the house I grew up in
Soft yellow
Like the flowers that grow around
My school
I find solace in a stranger passing me
In the street
At 10:00 pm on my nightly excursion
Even on the dreary nights
When I hear the voices
And the noise
I know I’m not alone
I can see everything much clearer
