Famous quotes containing the words terrace and/or bay:

    “A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
    Grows from a downy tip;
    A terrace nine stories high
    Rises from hodfuls of earth;
    A journey of a thousand miles
    Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
    —Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

    “The very dogs that sullenly bay the moon from farm-yards in these nights excite more heroism in our breasts than all the civil exhortations or war sermons of the age.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
