In what bold relief stand out the lives of all walkers of the snow! The snow is a great tell-tale, and blabs as effectually as it obliterates. I go into the woods, and know all that has happened.

I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course. ~Barack Obama
