Summer on the Lakes

“How happy that indians must have been here it is not long since theyt were driven away and the ground above and below is full of their traces.”

In this quote Margaret Fuller states the way she felt by visiting that amazing place. You could still feel the precense of the people that would settle there before. I think that feeling the precense of ancestors is magical as if you could almost feel there touch. It is like going to visit the ruins in Mexico. You don’t see people there but if you closs your eyes and relax you can picture them going on with life as if they were actually there. You can picture the way they dressed and the way the would behave with eachother just by a simple piece of wonderful architecture. When someone passes away you get that same feeling. You look at an object they used to love and you remember those times you spent together with that special person. Even though Margaret Fuller didn’t get to experience what it would be like to be around those indians she still felt their presence just by looking at her sorroundings.
