What We Dream...



"All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed we live, and what they lived, we dream." -T.K. Whipple, Study Out The Land

"What living and buried speech is always vibrating here....what howls restrained by decorum." -Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
