East Bank

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or bank:

    Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
    I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
