Native Language

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or language:

    A native health and innocence
    Within my bones did grow,
    And while my God did all his glories show,
    I felt a vigour in my sense
    That was all spirit: I within did flow
    With seas of life like wine;
    I nothing in the world did know
    But ‘twas divine.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
