Lone

Famous quotes containing the word lone:

“At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved when life was warm in thine eye,”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

“As a lone ant from a broken ant-hill
from the wreckage of Europe, ego scriptor.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
