Driscoll Pond

Famous quotes containing the words driscoll and/or pond:

“Hold fast your dreams!
Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,”
—Louise Driscoll (b. 1875)

“This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
