—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
“There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain
There is not even solitude in the mountains”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
