Cool Beans


Famous quotes containing the words cool and/or beans:

    I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
    me whispering to congratulate me,
    For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
    In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
    toward me,
    And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I
    was happy.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, my acquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
