Of what was either cloud or smoke
From north to south across the blue;
A piercing little star was through.”

the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”

“Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
