Simple Pole

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or pole:

“A simple child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?”

“This man was very clever and quick to learn anything in his line. Our tent was of a kind new to him; but when he had once seen it pitched, it was surprising how quickly he would find and prepare the pole and forked stakes to pitch it with, cutting and placing them right the first time, though I am sure that the majority of white men would have blundered several times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
