To travelers so long shut among the mountain ranges a sudden view over the expanse of silent waters had in it something sublime. Several large islands raised their rocky heads out of the waves. . . . Then, a storm burst down with sudden fury upon the lake, and entirely hid the islands from our view. John C. Fremont, Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, 1845 |

Alfred Lambourne 2
Yet if there be death, also there is life; if there be crime on the earth, above there is the glorious sky. . . . Down by the shore, the blue waters sparkle. As I look around my island, I might imagine at this hour, that death and crime had never been.
Alfred Lambourne,
Our Inland Sea, 1909
