Chimneys Quote by Henry David Thoreau
“In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are halfconcealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends… We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
![“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning, . . . [then] they fall down the curtains.” quote by Charles Baudelaire](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/006/charles-baudelaire-473_agility_as-the-end-of-the-century-approaches-all_1631460.jpg)
