Famous quotes containing the words house, sand and/or fog:

    In Tsegihi,
    In the house made of dawn,
    In the house made of the evening twilight,
    In the house made of the dark cloud, ...
    Oh, male divinity!
    With your moccasins of dark cloud, come to us.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
