Acre Feet

Famous quotes containing the words acre and/or feet:

“And every acre good enough to eat,
As fine as flour put through a baker’s sieve.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
