And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone. </pre><div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/humanity/author/Sara Teasdale/">Sara Teasdale</a></div><div title=Source>July 1918</div></div></blockquote>#637John Donnehttps://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/637/2012-07-26T15:06:45+02:00<blockquote>No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.<div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/humanity/author/John Donne/">John Donne</a></div></div></blockquote>#628Friedensreich Hundertwasserhttps://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/628/2012-07-26T14:57:07+02:00<blockquote>The straight line leads to the downfall of humanity.<div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/humanity/author/Friedensreich Hundertwasser/">Friedensreich Hundertwasser</a></div></div></blockquote>
