Famous quotes containing the words canoe and/or world:
“There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For, the experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
