“We were soon in the smooth water of the Quakish Lake,... and we had our first, but a partial view of Ktaadn, its summit veiled in clouds, like a dark isthmus in that quarter, connecting the heavens with the earth.”

“Our age is an age of moderate virtue
And of moderate vice
When men will not lay down the Cross
Because they will never assume it.
Yet nothing is impossible, nothing,
To men of faith and conviction.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“That book is good
Which puts me in a working mood.
Unless to Thought be added Will
Apollo is an imbecile.”
