Heard Island

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or island:

“The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspiriting but almost wiry sound, was first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang. This was the prevailing bird in the northern part of Maine. The forest generally was alive with them at this season, and they were proportionally numerous and musical about Bangor. They evidently breed in that State.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

““Our island home
Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.””
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
