Famous quotes containing the words ducks and/or season:
“For hours, in fall days, I watched the ducks cunningly tack and veer and hold the middle of the pond, far from the sportsman;... but what beside safety they got by sailing in the middle of Walden I do not know, unless they love its water for the same reason that I do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Life contracts and death is expected,
As in a season of autumn.
The soldier falls.”
