Famous quotes containing the words big and/or pine:
“Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
