Famous quotes containing the words king and/or walden:
“Pastime with good company

Grudge who list, but none deny!
So God be pleased, thus live will I.”

“All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand.... Walden is blue at one time and green at another, even from the same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
