Big Pine

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or pine:

    Roach, foulest of creatures,
    who attacks with yellow teeth
    and an army of cousins big as shoes ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
