    “...some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!””

    “It is the place where all the aspirations of the Western World meet to form one vast master aspiration, as powerful as the suction of a steam dredge. It is the icing on the pie called Christian civilization.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “There was not a tree as far as we could see, and that was many miles each way, the general level of the upland being about the same everywhere. Even from the Atlantic side we overlooked the Bay, and saw to Manomet Point in Plymouth, and better from that side because it was the highest.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
