Savage Coast

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or coast:

    Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
    If not quite dim, yet rather so,
    Still yours from others they shall know
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    Have we even so much as discovered and settled the shores? Let a man travel on foot along the coast ... and tell me if it looks like a discovered and settled country, and not rather, for the most part, like a desolate island, and No-Man’s Land.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
