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

    ““Our island home
    Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.””
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Hast ever ben in Omaha
    Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
    Where four strong horses scarce can draw
    An empty wagon through the town?
    Where sand is blown from every mound
    To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
    Where all the steamboats are aground,
    And all the houses are afloat?...
    If not, take heed to what I say,
    You’ll find it just as I have found it;
    And if it lies upon your way
    For God’s sake, reader, go around it!”
    —For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The park is filled with night and fog,
    The veils are drawn about the world,”
    —Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
