Vineyard Man

Famous quotes containing the words vineyard and/or man:

    With the farming of a verse
    Make a vineyard of the curse,
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The style, the house and grounds, and “entertainment” pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
