Village Level

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or level:

“Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homoeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Alle fresh the level pasture lay,
And not a shadowe mote by seene,
Save where full fyve good miles away
The steeple towered from out the greene,”
—Jean Ingelow (1820–1897)
