These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”

That guard our native seas!
Whose flag has braved a thousand years
The battle and the breeze!”
