“I saw a guide-post surmounted by a pair of moose horns.... They are sometimes used for ornamental hat-trees, together with deers horns, in front entries; but ... I trust that I shall have a better excuse for killing a moose than that I may hang my hat on his horns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness mourning neath their sorrows load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them;
tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over.”
—Johann G. Olearius (16111684)
