Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “Your hooves have stamped at the black margin of the wood,
    Even where horrible green parrots call and swing.
    My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
