Joyous Home

Famous quotes containing the words joyous and/or home:

    If a joyous elephant should break forth into song, his lay would probably be very much like Whitman’s famous “Song of Myself.” It would have just about as much delicacy and deftness and discrimination.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Under the wide and starry sky,
    Dig the grave and let me lie.
    Glad did I live and gladly die,
    And I laid me down with a will.
    This be the verse you grave for me:
    Here he lies where he longed to be;
    Home is the sailor, home from sea.
    And the hunter home from the hill.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
