Famous quotes containing the words long and/or acre:
“and wove seven strings,
Sweet with all music, out of his long hair,
Because her hands had been made wild by love.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
