Long Distance

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

    Will no one tell me what she sings?—

    And battles long ago:

    Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
