Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or murray:
“What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Strung out and spotty, you wriggle and sigh
and kiss all the fellows and make them all die.”
—Les Murray (b. 1938)
