Cape Breton

Famous quotes containing the words cape and/or breton:

    Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod.... But having come so fresh to the sea, I have got but little salted.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Come little babe, come silly soul,
    Thy father’s shame, thy mother’s grief,
    —Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
