Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or pine:
“Your star, steel-set, keeps lone and frigid tryst
to freighted ships, baffled in wind and blast.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
