“By the road to the contagious hospital
under the surge of the blue
mottled clouds driven from the
northwest—a cold wind.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
