Maine Struck

Famous quotes containing the words maine and/or struck:

    Those Maine woods differ essentially from ours. There you are never reminded that the wilderness which you are threading is, after all, some villager’s familiar wood-lot, some widow’s thirds, from which her ancestors have sledded fuel for generations, minutely described in some old deed which is recorded, of which the owner has got a plan, too, and old bound-marks may be found every forty rods, if you will search.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A herd-abandoned deer struck by the hunter’s dart
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
