Stopping Place

Famous quotes containing the words stopping and/or place:

    The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Poor old Jonathan Bing
    Went home and addressed a short note to the King:
    If you please will excuse me
    I won’t come to tea;
    For home’s the best place for
    All people like me!
    Beatrice Curtis Brown (1901–1974)
