Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “Morning, a glass door, flashes
    Gold names off the new city,
    Whose white shelves and domes travel
    The slow sky all day.
    I land to stay here....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Without looking, then, to those extraordinary social influences which are now acting in precisely this direction, but only at what is inevitably doing around us, I think we must regard the land as a commanding and increasing power on the citizen, the sanative and Americanizing influence, which promises to disclose new virtues for ages to come.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
