Taylor Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words taylor and/or appeared:

    Here of this fustian animall,
    Till I enravisht climb into
    The Godhead on this ladder doe:
    Where all my pipes inspir’de upraise
    And Heavenly musick, furr’d with praise.
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
