    “No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Give me the critic bred in Nature’s school,
    Who neither talks by rote, nor thinks by rule;
    Who feeling’s honest dictates still obeys,
    And dares, without a precedent, to praise.”
    —Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    “He kicked the ball with his right foot,
    And catched it with his knee,
    And through and through the Jew’s window
    He gared the bonny ball flee.”
    —Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 5–8)
