White Pigeon Township

Famous quotes containing the words white, pigeon and/or township:

    Things that we do
    ‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
    Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
    Certainly keep us notorious.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    They wait, each like a wooden decoy
    or soft like a pigeon or
    a sweet snug duck:
    until one moves, moves that dart-beak
    breaking over.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
