When Daniel Boone goes by at night The phantom deer arise And all lost, wild America Is burning in their eyes.

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.

Dreaming men are haunted men.

You see how it is, my dear friends. There's no pleasing everyone. It's hopeless to even try, and the more you play the peacemaker, the less peaceful things become.

Wheels of fire, cosmic, rich, full-bodied honest victories over desperation.
