Indigenous Small Numbered

Famous quotes containing the words indigenous and/or small:

“What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground,—and to one another; it is either winged or it is legged. It is hardly as if you had seen a wild creature when a rabbit or a partridge bursts away, only a natural one, as much to be expected as rustling leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Some one came knocking
At my wee, small door;
Some one came knocking,
I’m sure—sure—sure;”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
