Front Plates

Famous quotes containing the words front and/or plates:

    Here, in front of the summer hotel
    the beach waits like an altar.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I have experienced such simple delight in the trivial matters of fishing and sporting, formerly, as might have inspired the muse of Homer or Shakespeare; and now, when I turn the pages and ponder the plates of the Angler’s Souvenir, I am fain to exclaim,—
    “Can such things be,
    And overcome us like a summer’s cloud?”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
