Island Amusement Park

Famous quotes containing the words island, amusement and/or park:

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Business is, emphatically, the amusement of Americans, and, to be in keeping with their character, every thing written for their amusement should partake of the useful.”
    —H., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine (February 1828)

    “Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
