I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten music drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past adulthood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years before you or I ever existed and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling. Ecstacy, even, I felt, with flashes of sudden remembrance, I felt like sleeping and dreaming in the grass.
