Goose Island Ipa

Famous quotes containing the words goose and/or island:

    The man in the wilderness said to me,
    How many strawberries grow in the sea?
    I answered him as I thought good,
    As many red herrings as grow in the wood.
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The man in the wilderness (l. 1–4)

    The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
