Pemba Island Day

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or day:

    I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    To think to know the country and not know
    The hillside on the day the sun lets go
    Ten million silver lizards out of snow!
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
