Like a Flower of Sound

I go along the side of Fair Haven Hill.  The clock strikes distinctly, showing the wind is easterly.  There is a grand, rich, musical echo trembling on the air long after the clock has ceased to strike, like a vast organ, filling the air with a trembling music like a flower of sound.

Henry David Thoreau
