Open Ground

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or ground:

    When strawberries go begging, and the sleek
    Blue plums lie open to the blackbird’s beak,
    We shall live well—we shall live very well.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    The sight of one of these frontier houses, built of these great logs, whose inhabitants have unflinchingly maintained their ground many summers and winters in the wilderness, reminds me of famous forts, like Ticonderoga or Crown Point, which have sustained memorable sieges.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
