Thoreau


I've used Google Creator to format a fragment of Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. Creator does not give you much freedom to experiment with the page's look and feel. I intend to experiment with Kompozer this weekend.

"We rowed leisurely up the stream for several hours, until the sun had got high in the sky, our thoughts monotonously beating time to our oars. For outward variety there was only the river and the receding shores, a vista continually opening behind and closing before us, as we sat with our backs upstream; and, for inward, such thoughts as the muses grudgingly lent us. We were always passing some low, inviting shore, or some overhanging bank, on which, however, we never landed."
