John Burroughs
In winter, the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse.

Poetry is not only dream and vision...It is unfortunate that so much of the history of Africa...Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul...The dead keep their secrets, and in a while we shall be...The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement...There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort...
