“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

“On the whole, we were glad of the storm, which would show us the ocean in its angriest mood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
