Henry David Thoreau Quotes
Nowadays Almost All Man's Improvements, So Called, As The Building Of Houses, And The Cutting Down Of The Forest And Of All Large Trees, Simply Deform The Landscape, And Make It More Tame And Cheap ... And Some Worldly Miser With A Surveyor Looking After His Bounds, While Heaven Had Taken Place Around Him, And He Did Not See The Angles Going To And Fro, But Was Looking For An Old Post-hole In The Midst Of Paradise. I Looked Again, And Saw Him Standing In The Middle Of A Boggy, Stygian, Fen, Surrounded By Devils, And He Had Found His Bounds Without A Doubt, Three Little Stones, Where A Stake Had Been Driven, And Looking Nearer, I Saw That The Prince Of Darkness Was His Surveyor.
