Wide

Famous quotes containing the word wide:

“In sunburnt parks where Sundays lie,
Or the wide wastes beyond the cities,
Teams in grey deploy through sunlight.

Talk it up, boys, a little practice.”
—Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

“The voices of that hearth are still;
Look where we may, the wide earth o’er,
Those lighted faces smile no more.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea.
And the hunter home from the hill.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
