AMERICA
I love thine inland seas,
Thy groves of giant trees,
Thy rolling plains;
Thy rivers' mighty sweep,
Thy mystic canyons deep,
Thy mountains wild and steep,
All thy domains;
Thy silver Eastern strands,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Wide to the West;
Thy flowery Southland fair,
Thy sweet and crystal air,
O land beyond compare,
Thee I love best!
Henry van Dyke
Montpelier, Vermont is the only U.S. state capital without a McDonald's.
Perhaps this is our strange and haunting paradox here in America -- that we are fixed and certain only when we are in movement.
--Thomas Wolfe
