“In 1836, when Frederick Law Olmsted was fourteen years old, Ralph Waldo Emerson published his first book, Nature, in which he says ‘Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without hainvg in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.’”
