Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

“Long hours
trail in their purple
and long years are lost
in just this moment
while our souls are near,
our mouths separate.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The mode of clearing and planting is to fell the trees, and burn once what will burn, then cut them up into suitable lengths, roll into heaps, and burn again; then, with a hoe, plant potatoes where you can come at the ground between the stumps and charred logs; for a first crop the ashes suffice for manure, and no hoeing being necessary the first year. In the fall, cut, roll, and burn again, and so on, till the land is cleared; and soon it is ready for grain, and to be laid down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
