Devon Mining Landscape

Famous quotes containing the words mining and/or landscape:

    Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When it comes, the Landscape listens—
    Shadows—hold their breath—
    When it goes, ‘tis like the Distance
    On the look of Death—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
