Wearing white for Eastertide.”

“The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But one day he met a man who was a whole lot badder,
And now he’s dead, and we ain’t none the sadder.”
