Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “Whilst all the land was ringed with bristling arms
    And flames laid waste our world,
    All that was left me was a little garden
    And thou within it, my beloved, my comrade.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    Way up high,
    There’s a land that I heard of
    Once in a lullaby.”
