Enclosed Yard

Famous quotes containing the words enclosed and/or yard:

    The flame o’ th’ taper
    Bows toward her, and would under-peep her lids,
    To see th’ enclosed lights, now canopied
    Under these windows, white and azure laced
    With blue of heaven’s own tinct.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
