Woods Pond
Nevertheless, of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore, and the rail-road has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me. It has not acquired one permanent wrinkle after all its ripples. It is perennially young.
Walden
Henry David Thoreau
