Famous quotes containing the words western and/or moist:
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a mans tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The very dogs were all asleep, and the flies, drunk with moist sugar in the grocers shop, forgot their wings and briskness, and baked to death in dusty corners of the window.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
