dukes creek falls in white county is where gold was first discovered in 1828, setting off the georgia gold rush and completing the ruination of the cherokee nation --- the falls are actually the 150' drop of davis creek, left, into the larger, but lower falls on dukes creek, right

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
