Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or merwin:

    “What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This is the black sea-brute bulling through wave-wrack,”
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
