“As it grew darker, I was startled by the honking of geese flying low over the woods, like weary travellers getting in late from Southern lakes, and indulging at last in unrestrained complaint and mutual consolation.

So I came in, and shut the door, and passed my first spring night in the woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
