“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”

“Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
