I do not love the sabbath, the soapsuds and the starch, the troops of solemn people who to salvation march. i take my book, i take my stick on the sabbath day, in woody nooks and valleys i hide myself away. to ponder there in quiet god's universal plan, resolved that church and sabbath were never made for man.

The myriad valleys could have arisen anywhere on the landscape. the current positions are quite accidental. if we could repeat the experiment, we might obtain no valleys at all, or a completely different system. yet we now stand at the shore line contemplating the fine spacing of valleys and their even contact with the sea. how easy it is to be misled and to assume that no other landscape could possibly have arisen.

We really cannot see what equanimity there is in jerking a lacerated carp out of the water by the jaws, merely because it has no the power of making a noise; for we presume that the most philosophic of anglers would hardly delight in catching a shrieking fish.
