Famous quotes containing the words north and/or road:

    “It is the sea that whitens the roof.
    The sea drifts through the winter air.
    It is the sea that the north wind makes.
    The sea is in the falling snow.
    This gloom is the darkness of the sea.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
    The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
    That only I remember, that only you admire,
    Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
