Clam Union Township

Famous quotes containing the words clam, union and/or township:

    Over the low, barnacled, elephant-colored rocks,
    Come the first tide-ripples, moving, almost without sound, toward
    me,
    Running along the narrow furrows of the shore, the rows of dead clam shells;
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.
    Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
