Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or lilies:
“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
