"After a still winter night I awoke with the impression that some question had been put to me, which I had been endeavoring in vain to answer in my sleep, as what--how--when--where? But there was dawning Nature, in whom all creatures live, looking in at my broad windows with serene and satisfied face, and no question on her lips. I awoke to an answered question, to Nature and daylight. The snow lying deep on the earth dotted with young pines, and the very slope of the hill on which my house is placed, seemed to say, Forward!" -- Henry David Thoreau, Walden
(Just another one of the many reasons I love to read Walden in the morning: I look out my window and know exactly what Thoreau was talking about as he looked out his own window in the woods.)
