Famous quotes containing the word wendell:
“It was a tall young oysterman lived by the river-side,
His shop was just upon the bank, his boat was on the tide;
The daughter of a fisherman, that was so straight and slim,
Lived over on the other bank, right opposite to him.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
