Famous quotes containing the word maine:

    “I have been oranging and fat,
    carrot colored, gaped at,
    allowing my cracked o’s to drop on the sea
    near Venice and Mombasa.
    Over Maine I have rested.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Oh, there are people, all right, settled in the sea;
    It is as populous as Maine today,
    But no one who will give you the time of day.”
    —William Meredith (b. 1919)

    “On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
