“In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But this was the old tree’s late branch wrenched away,
Grieving the sapless limbs, the shorn and shaken.”
