Home Runs

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or runs:

We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.”

“Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
