Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or gray:
“All the morning we had heard the sea roar on the eastern shore, which was several miles distant.... It was a very inspiriting sound to walk by, filling the whole air, that of the sea dashing against the land, heard several miles inland. Instead of having a dog to growl before your door, to have an Atlantic Ocean to growl for a whole Cape!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
