the Thoreau Log.
15 February 1841. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  There is elevation in every hour. No part of the earth is so low and withdrawn that the heavens cannot be seen from it, but every part supports the sky. We have only to stand on the eminence of the hour, and look out thence into the empyrean, allowing no pinnacle above us, to command an uninterrupted horizon.
(Journal, 1:214-215)
