Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or country:

    “Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
    Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
    I heard a Negro play.

    Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
    By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

    “It is wonderful how well watered this country is.... Generally, you may go any direction in a canoe, by making frequent but not very long portages.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
