“And my youth comes back to me.

Is haunting my memory still:
A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
“There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.”
