Miles

Famous quotes containing the word miles:

    I skirted the margin alders for miles and miles
    In a sweeping line.
    The day was the day by every flower that blooms,
    But I saw no sign.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Then for years and years
    And for miles and miles
    ‘Cross the Aegean Isles,
    Athens, Rome, France, Britain,
    Always West-Northwest ...
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
