Corners

Famous quotes containing the word corners:

    The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.

    From the four corners of the earth they come
    To kiss this shrine, this mortal-breathing saint.

    I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
