“O make harmonious mix of voice and string
To him by whom the skies with clouds are lind;
By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assignd,
Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,”

“No mans thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
