Famous quotes containing the word maine:

    “It was a Maine lobster town—
    each morning boatloads of hands
    pushed off for granite
    quarries on the islands.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “I heard the dog-day locust here, and afterward on the carries, a sound which I had associated only with more open, if not settled countries. The area for locusts must be small in the Maine Woods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Those Maine woods differ essentially from ours. There you are never reminded that the wilderness which you are threading is, after all, some villager’s familiar wood-lot, some widow’s thirds, from which her ancestors have sledded fuel for generations, minutely described in some old deed which is recorded, of which the owner has got a plan, too, and old bound-marks may be found every forty rods, if you will search.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
