How happy is the blameless lot. The world forgetting the world forgot, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. Each prayer accepted, each wish signed xinfinity.
~A. Pope~
Song of Hiawatha
....By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shinning big-sea-water stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the moon Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest
Rose the dark and gloomy pine trees.
Rose the firs with cones upon them,
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shinning big-sea-water
~Henry Wadsworth-Longfellow~ (excerpt from Song of Hiawatha from chapter 3 Hiawatha's Childhood, paragraph 8, my grandfather always quoted that to my mom and her 6 sisters when they were little)
