Lone

Famous quotes containing the word lone:

“Your star, steel-set, keeps lone and frigid tryst
to freighted ships, baffled in wind and blast.”

“Poor is the triumph o’er the timid hare!
Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired—”

“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)
