Famous quotes containing the words soil and/or life:
“Our own country furnishes antiquities as ancient and durable, and as useful, as any; rocks at least as well covered with lichens, and a soil which, if it is virgin, is but virgin mould, the very dust of nature. What if we cannot read Rome or Greece, Etruria or Carthage, or Egypt or Babylon, on these; are our cliffs bare?”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“She only said, My life is dreary,
He cometh not, she said;
She said, I am aweary, aweary,
I would that I were dead!”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
