Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“The real charm of the United States is that it is the only comic country ever heard of.”

“We heard of all your gain when you had gone,
And talked about it when the meal lay done....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
