Famous quotes containing the words twilight and/or lasts:
“I rejoice that there are owls.... They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all have.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He sent for lancewood to make the thills;
The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees;
The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
But lasts like iron for things like these;
The hubs of logs from the “Settler’s ellum,”—
Last of its timber,—they couldn’t sell ‘em,”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
