Reflection by the Lake and a Fishermen’s Harvest
A narrator describes Northport Point on Lake Michigan as a place for mind and soul to rest. He reflects on the Norwegian settlers, the beauty of day and night, and the contrast between pursuit of success in cities and the calm strength found in land and sea.
