Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or pine:
“Poor is the triumph o’er the timid hare!
Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired—”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
