Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds. ✨ Henry David Thoreau (1873). A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, p.99
