Lapland Pond

Famous quotes containing the words lapland and/or pond:

    But an old age serene and bright,
    And lovely as a Lapland night,
    Shall lead thee to thy grave.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
