Hawthorn Building

Famous quotes containing the words hawthorn and/or building:

    The soldier’s is the trade:
    In any wind or weather

    Beneath the hawthorn lying,
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
