Famous quotes containing the words roaring and/or fork:

    he changed and ran
    Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
    Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
    A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
    And thereupon I drew the livid chop
    Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
