“The Indian navigator naturally distinguishes by a name those parts of a stream where he has encountered quick water and falls, and again, the lakes and smooth water where he can rest his weary arms, since those are the most interesting and memorable parts to him.”
—Henry David Thoreau, “1857 Allegash and East Branch”, The Maine Woods
