Quarter Mare

Famous quotes containing the words quarter and/or mare:

    Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.

    Do diddle di do,
    Poor Jim Jay
    Got stuck fast
    In Yesterday.
