Auld Mound

Famous quotes containing the words auld and/or mound:

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind?
    ...
    We’ll tak a cup o’kindness yet,
    For auld lang syne.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
