Rich Countries

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or countries:

    See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
    Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
    As a fired altar is each stone,
    Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
    The phoenix-nest,
    Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
    Who therein would not consume
    His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    In some countries a hunting parson is no uncommon sight. Such a one might make a good shepherd’s dog, but is far from being the Good Shepherd.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
