In the hollow of my hand

  • It is no dream of mine,
    To ornament a line;
    I cannot come nearer to God and Heaven
    Than I live to Walden even.
    I am its stony shore,
    And the breeze that passes o’ver;
    In the hollow of my hand
    Are its water and its sand,
    And its deepest resort
    Lies high in my thought.
  • Henry David Thoreau
