Famous quotes containing the words david and/or kendrick:
“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I met a little Elf-man, once,
Down where the lilies blow.
I asked him why he was so small
And why he didn’t grow.”
—John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922)
