Famous quotes containing the words black and/or island:

    “I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
    What hours, O what black hours we have spent
    This night!”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
