    “We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    That in this desert inaccessible,

    Lose and neglect the creeping hours of time.”
