Inland

Famous quotes containing the word inland:

“Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod.... But having come so fresh to the sea, I have got but little salted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“So far as inland discovery was concerned, the adventurous spirit of the English was that of sailors who land but for a day, and their enterprise the enterprise of traders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
