    The sixteen men were shot,
    But who can talk of give and take,
    What should be and what not

    To stir the boiling pot?”

    “All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand.... Walden is blue at one time and green at another, even from the same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.”
