In The Eye of The Beholder

I suppose that what in other men is religion is in me love of nature. - Thoreau

at the midday hour

way up in the watchtower

behold, a flower

Author's Note

"As for your high towers and monuments, there was a crazy fellow once in this town who undertook to dig through to China, and he got so far that, as he said, he heard the Chinese pots and kettles rattle; but I think that I shall not go out of my way to admire the hole which he made. Many are concerned about the monuments of the West and the East—to know who built them. For my part, I should like to know who in those days did not build them—who were above such trifling." - Thoreau
