“Our Indian said that he was a doctor, and could tell me some medicinal use for every plant I could show him ... proving himself as good as his word.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A filmy trash
Litters the black woods with the death
Of men; and one last breath
Curls from the monstrous chimney. . . .”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
