Famous quotes containing the words light and/or white:
“Sudden and swift and light as that
The ties gave,
And he learned of finalities
Beside the grave.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
