Famous quotes containing the words large and/or hill:
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“John Anderson my jo, John,
We clamb the hill the gither;
And mony a canty day, John,
Weve had wi ane anither:
Now we maun totter down, John,
And hand in hand well go;
And sleep the gither at the foot,
John Anderson my Jo.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
