Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or detected:
“When the heat of the summer
Made drowsy the land,
A dragon-fly came
And sat on my hand;”
—Eleanor Farjeon (1881–1965)
“Often on bare rocky carries the trail was so indistinct that I repeatedly lost it, but when I walked behind him I observed that he could keep it almost like a hound, and rarely hesitated, or, if he paused a moment on a bare rock, his eye immediately detected some sign which would have escaped me. Frequently we found no path at all at these places, and were to him unaccountably delayed. He would only say it was “ver strange.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
