Famous quotes containing the word landscape:
“If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest men alone. Let our lakes receive as true names at least as the Icarian Sea, where “still the shore” a “brave attempt resounds.””

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And year by year the landscape grow

—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
