Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or pine:
“Poor is the triumph o’er the timid hare!
Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired—”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
