Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or works:

    Kind Sir: Lost and of your same kind
    I have turned around twice with my eyes sealed
    and the wood were white and my night mind
    saw such strange happenings, untold and unreal.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
