Famous quotes containing the word landscape:

    We don’t need to connect. The prairie landscape isolates us from each other as well as from our history.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    When it comes, the Landscape listens—
    Shadows—hold their breath—
    When it goes, ‘tis like the Distance
    On the look of Death—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
