Long Distances

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distances:

“And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last

Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“I was surprised by Joe’s asking me how far it was to the Moosehorn. He was pretty well acquainted with this stream, but he had noticed that I was curious about distances, and had several maps. He and Indians generally, with whom I have talked, are not able to describe dimensions or distances in our measures with any accuracy. He could tell, perhaps, at what time we should arrive, but not how far it was.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
