Famous quotes containing the words nest and/or township:
“This face is a dog’s snout sniffing for garbage,
Snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“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)
