Sugar Pine

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or pine:

    “Naughty Paughty Jack-a-Dandy,
    Stole a Piece of Sugar Candy
    From the Grocer’s Shoppy-Shop,
    And away did hoppy-hop.”
    —Henry Carey (1693?–1743)

    “Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
