    Lionel Johnson comes the first to mind,
    That loved his learning better than mankind,

    Brooded upon sanctity....

    I perceive that in these woods the earliest settlements are, for various reasons, clustering about the lakes, but partly, I think, for the sake of the neighborhood as the oldest clearings. They are forest schools already established,—great centres of light.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
