Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or road:
“We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,—at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I wonder how far down the road he’s got.
He’s watching from the woods as like as not.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
