Famous quotes containing the words georgina and/or rothschild:
“Gone were but the Winter,
Come were but the Spring,
I would go to a covert
Where the birds sing.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
