Fireflies Carried

Famous quotes containing the words fireflies and/or carried:

    It was such a leafy wilderness; a place for fauns and satyrs, and where bats hung all day to the rocks, and at evening flitted over the water, and fireflies husbanded their light under the grass and leaves against the night.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Thou cam’st out of thy mother’s belly without government, thou hast liv’d hitherto without government, and thou may’st be carried to thy long home without government, when it shall please the Lord. How many people in this world live without government, yet do well enough, and are well look’d upon?
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
