Henry David Thoreau on this day:
There is just as much beauty visible to us in the landscape as we are prepared to appreciate,— not a grain more. The actual objects which one man will see from a particular hilltop are just as different from those which another will see as the beholders are dif-ferent. The scarlet oak must, in a sense, be in your eye when you go forth. We cannot see anything until we are possessed with the idea of it, take it into our heads,-and then we can hardly see anything else.
