“I have passed down the river before sunrise on a summer morning, between fields of lilies still shut in sleep; and when, at length, the flakes of sunlight from over the bank fell on the surface of the water, whole fields of white blossoms seemed to flash open before me, as I floated along, like the unfolding of a banner, so sensible is this flower to the influence of the suns rays.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Whenever the weather licks the pilot instead of him lickin the weather, hes finished. The first time makes the second time easier. And the first thing he knows, hes in trouble when the weather is perfect.”
—Frank W. Wead (1895?1947)
