“It is remarkable with what pure satisfaction the traveler in these woods will reach his camping-ground on the eve of a tempestuous night like this, as if he had got to his inn, and, rolling himself in his blanket, stretch himself on his six-feet-by-two bed of dripping fir twigs, with a thin sheet of cotton for roof, snug as a meadow-mouse in its nest.”

And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing, “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!””

Squat on my life?
Can’t I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?”
