A lake is earth's eye, looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his or her own nature.


"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature.  It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.  The flowing plants next to the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows."

Henry David Thoreau
