Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or wylie:

    “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)

    “The worst and best are both inclined
    To snap like vixens at the truth.
    But, O, beware the middle mind
    That purrs and never shows a tooth!”
    —Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)
