“Good-night to the Season!the dances,
The fillings of hot little rooms,
The glancings of rapturous glances,
The fancyings of fancy costumes;
The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
The luxury of looking at beauties,
The tedium of talking to mutes;”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (18021839)
“Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of natureif the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill youknow that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
