Famous quotes containing the words david and/or greenwood:

    We can conceive of nothing more fair than something which we have experienced.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh, many a day have I made good ale in the glen,
    That came not of stream, or malt, like the brewing of men;
    My bed was the ground, my roof the greenwood above,
    And the wealth that I sought, one far kind glance from my love.
    —Unknown. The Outlaw of Loch Lene (l. 1–4)
