Strange Tales Annual

Famous quotes containing the words strange, tales and/or annual:

    My love is of a birth as rare
    As ‘tis for object strange and high:
    It was begotten by Despair
    Upon Impossibility.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    Among the Indians he had fought;
    And with him many tales he brought
    Of pleasure and of fear;
    Such tales as told to any Maid
    By such a Youth, in the green shade,
    Were perilous to hear.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
