An old man who used to frequent this pond nearly
sixty years ago, when it was dark with surrounding forests,
tells me that in those days he sometimes saw it all alive
with ducks and other water fowl, and that there were
many eagles about it. He came here a-fishing, and used
an old log canoe which he found on the shore ....
He did not know whose it was; it belonged to the pond.
--- Thoreau (Walden)
