Liquid/introduction

Famous quotes containing the words liquid and/or introduction:

“What slender Youth bedew’d with liquid odours
Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave,”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
