Quote of the Day (Henry David Thoreau, ‘By the Brooksides’ in Early Winter)



“By the brooksides, in the still, genial night,
The more adventurous wanderer may hear
The crystals shoot and form, and winter slow
Increase his rule by gentlest summer means.”— Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), “Pray to What Earth Does This Sweet Cold Belong,” in The Four Seasons: Poems, edited by J.D. McClatchy (2008)

I took this photo in late January of this year in Saddle River County Park in Ridgewood, N.J.
