Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    “The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water,—so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Tonight there are only the winter stars.
    The sky is no longer a junk-shop,
    Full of javelins and old fire-balls,
    Triangles and the names of girls.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
