—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I read a part of the story of my excursion to Ktaadn to quite a large audience of men and boys, the other night, whom it interested. It contains many facts and some poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
