Famous quotes containing the words preserved and/or locomotives:

    “It was a quiet Sunday morning, with more of the auroral rosy and white than of the yellow light in it, as if it dated from earlier than the fall of man, and still preserved a heathenish integrity.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
    In the days of long ago,
    Ranged where the locomotives sing
    And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
