I have just return'd from an old forest haunt, where I love to go occasionally away from parlors, pavements, and the newspapers and magazines and where, of a clear forenoon, deep in the shade of pines and cedars and a tangle of old laurel-trees and vines, the news of Longfellow's death first reach'd me.
Boat after boat was filled, and, as each discharged its complement in the ships that lay heaving their anchors in the stream, it return'd, and was soon filled with another load.
