“My hearts in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My hearts in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe:
My hearts in the Highlands, wherever I go.”

“In the middle of the night, as indeed each time that we lay on the shore of a lake, we heard the voice of the loon, loud and distinct, from far over the lake. It is a very wild sound, quite in keeping with the place and the circumstances of the traveler, and very unlike the voice of a bird. I could lie awake for hours listening to it, it is so thrilling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
