Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth and/or birch:
“Paris is a mighty schoolmaster, a grand enlightener of the provincial intellect.”
—Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837–1915)
“The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,—these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us. On either side, the primeval forest stretches away uninterrupted to Canada, or to the “South Sea”; to the white man a drear and howling wilderness, but to the Indian a home, adapted to his nature, and cheerful as the smile of the Great Spirit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
