I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods.” “What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.” |
