| You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be led. -- Stan Laurel |
I've been reading a bit of Walt Whitman lately, and a passage from him seems appropriate after pictures of New England.
Whoever you are, I fear you are walking the walks of dreams,
I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your feet and hands,
Even now your features, joys, speech, house, trade, manners, troubles, follies, costume, crimes, dissipate away from you,
Your true soul and body appear before me,
They stand forth out of affairs, out of commerce, shops, work, farms, clothes, the house, buying, selling, eating, drinking, suffering, dying.
. . .
O I have been dilatory and dumb,
I should have made my way straight to you long ago...
[From: To You, in Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman]
