Famous quotes containing the word walks:
“With awe, around these silent walks I tread;
These are the lasting mansions of the dead.”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)
“Columbus has sailed westward of these isles by the mariner’s compass, but neither he nor his successors have found them. We are no nearer than Plato was. The earnest seeker and hopeful discoverer of this New World always haunts the outskirts of his time, and walks through the densest crowd uninterrupted, and, as it were, in a straight line.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Falstaff sweats to death,
And lards the lean earth as he walks along.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
