Famous quotes containing the words baffin and/or region:

    “Brazil is bigger than Europe, wilder than Africa, and weirder than Baffin Land.”
    —Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)

    “It was a favor for which to be forever silent to be shown this vision. The earth beneath had become such a flitting thing of lights and shadows as the clouds had been before. It was not merely veiled to me, but it had passed away like the phantom of a shadow, skias onar, and this new platform was gained. As I had climbed above storm and cloud, so by successive days’ journeys I might reach the region of eternal day, beyond the tapering shadow of the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
