—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The morning cup of coffee has an exhiliration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.”

“a great space
Of white and pewter lights, and a din like silversmiths
Beating and beating at an intractable metal.”
