Stump Brook Dam

Famous quotes containing the words stump, brook and/or dam:

“The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,—these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us. On either side, the primeval forest stretches away uninterrupted to Canada, or to the “South Sea”; to the white man a drear and howling wilderness, but to the Indian a home, adapted to his nature, and cheerful as the smile of the Great Spirit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out
Upon the brook that brawls along this wood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The devil take one party and his dam the other!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
