Smoke Haze

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or haze:

“All those large dreams by which men long live well
Are magic-lanterned on the smoke of hell;”

“But before the extremity of the Cape had completely sunk, it appeared like a filmy sliver of land lying flat on the ocean, and later still a mere reflection of a sand-bar on the haze above. Its name suggests a homely truth, but it would be more poetic if it described the impression which it makes on the beholder.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
