Famous quotes containing the words eugenius and/or birch:
“Trust me, my dear Eugenius ... “there are worse occupations in this world than feeling a woman’s pulse.””
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“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)
