Famous quotes containing the words landscape and/or painter:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The painter stood entranced before the work which he had wrought;... he grew tremulous and ... crying with a loud voice, This is indeed Life itself! turned suddenly to regard his beloved:MShe was dead!”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
