“These were such houses as the lumberers of Maine spend the winter in, in the wilderness ... the camps and the hovels for the cattle, hardly distinguishable, except that the latter had no chimney.”

“It was a Maine lobster town—
each morning boatloads of hands
pushed off for granite
quarries on the islands.”
