Famous quotes containing the words bear and/or island:

    “As you read, a white bear leisurely
    pees, dyeing the snow
    saffron....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
