Famous quotes containing the word land:
“The land was our before we were the land’s.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
