Moon Dwellers

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or dwellers:

    In his time, this one had little to speak of,
    The softest word went gurrituck in his skull.
    For him the moon was always in Scandinavia
    And his daughter was a foreign thing.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Rivers must have been the guides which conducted the footsteps of the first travelers. They are the constant lure, when they flow by our doors, to distant enterprise and adventure; and, by a natural impulse, the dwellers on their banks will at length accompany their currents to the lowlands of the globe, or explore at their invitation the interior of continents.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
