Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.”

“but as an Eagle
His cloudless thunderbolted on thir heads.
So vertue givn for lost,
Deprest, and overthrown, as seemd,
Like that self-begottn bird
In the Arabian woods embost,
That no second knows nor third,
And lay ere while a Holocaust,
From out her ashie womb now teemd
Revives, reflourishes, then vigorous most
When most unactive deemd,
And though her body die, her fame survives,
A secular bird ages of lives.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“I wished only to be set down in Canada, and take one honest walk there as I might in Concord woods of an afternoon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
