Pemba Island Day

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or day:

“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I watch the white stars darken;
the day comes and the
white stars dim
and lessen
and the lights fade in the city.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
