Famous quotes containing the words views of, views and/or milton:

    “It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He weren’t no saint—but at Jedgment
    I’d run my chance with Jim,
    ‘Longside of some pious gentlemen
    That wouldn’t shook hands with him.
    He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing,—
    And went for it, thar an’ then:
    And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
    On a man that died for me.”
    —John Milton Hay (1838–1905)
