    Cold and hunger seem more friendly to my nature than those methods which men have adopted and advise to ward them off.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;
    —Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
