Famous quotes containing the words young and/or led:
“May Allah keep her
And other wives from me. But this young slave
For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
My soul I cant forget, nor her slack eyes:
The oasis of age is sand and lies.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
