  1. Henry David Thoreau _ The Journal of Henry David

    I stopped short in the path today to admire how the trees grow up without forethought regardless of the time and circumstances. They do not wait as men do-now is the golden age of the sapling-Earth, air, sun, and rain, are occasion enough-.

  2. Henry David Thoreau _ The Journal of Henry David

    Every part of nature teaches that the passing away of one life is the making room for another. The oak dies down to the ground, leaving within its rind a rich virgin mould, which will impart a vigorous life to an infant forest. The pine leaves a sandy and sterile soil, the harder woods a strong and fruitful mould. So this constant abrasion and decay makes the soil of my future growth. As I live now so shall I reap. If I grow pines and birches, my virgin mould will not sustain the oak; but pines and birches, or, perchance, weeds and brambles, will constitute my second growth.
