When the angler, recounting these captives of his steel, pictures 

 again each bright scene and hour of his summer's recreation, it will 

 not be the least of his pleasures to remember that its fruits are aiding

 winter while those dark forests bow beneath the weight of snows, 

 and the stiffening river shivers through all its depths under the blasts 

 storming down those stern Laurentian valleys.
