Famous quotes containing the words west and/or produced:
“Its a fine land, the west land, for hearts as tired as mine,
Apple orchards blossom there, and the airs like wine.”
—John Masefield (18781967)
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
