Rare Book

Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or book:

“Instead of calling on some scholar, I paid many a visit to particular trees, of kinds which are rare in this neighborhood, standing far away in the middle of some pasture, or in the depths of a wood or swamp, or on a hilltop.... These were the shrines I visited both summer and winter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside....”
