"No man ever followed his genius till it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal, that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality....The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little stardust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." -Henry David Thoreau (Walden, or Life In The Woods)
Poetry has always played an important role in my life. This cache is part of a poetry series I will be placing. Cache is an ammo box. Inside you will find a short biography on the poet , as well as a selection of poems or quotes for swaps. Please feel free to take one or two with you, and maybe, if you are so inclined, leave one of your own.
