    And take to light claret instead of pale ale;
    Look down with an utter contempt upon butter,
    And never touch bread till it’s toasted—or stale”
    —H.S. (Henry Sambrooke)

    “Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
