“I go about to look at flowers & listen to the birds. There was a time when the beauty & the music were all within–& I sat and listened to my thoughts & there was a song in them. I sat for hours on rocks and wrestled with the melody which possessed me. I sat and listened by the hour to a positive though faint & distant music–not sung by any bird–nor vibrating any earthly harp. When you walked with a joy which knew not its own origin. When you were an organ of which the world was but one poor broken pipe– I lay long on the rocks foundered like a harp on the seashore–that knows not how it is dealt with. You sat on the earth as on a raft–listening to music that was not of the earth–but which ruled & arranged it. Man should be the harp articulate.” –Henry David Thoreau, Journal, Volume 8: 1854
