—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“Here lies the preacher, judge, and poet, Peter
Who broke the laws of God, and man and metre.”
—Francis Jeffrey (1773–1850)
“These are not the artificial forests of an English king,—a royal preserve merely. Here prevail no forest laws but those of nature. The aborigines have never been dispossessed, nor nature disforested.”
