Silver Lake State

Famous quotes containing the words silver, lake and/or state:

“For soon amid the silver loneliness
Of night he lifted up his voice and sang,
Secure, with only two moons listening,”

“This is my lake country.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
