Wonderful Walden

"It is no dream of mine,
To ornament a line;
I cannot come nearer to God and Heaven
Than I live to Walden even.

And the breeze that passes o'er;
In the hollow of my hand
Are its water and its sand,
And its deepest resort
Lies high in my thought."

~Henry David Thoreau

"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."
~Henry David Thoreau
