Famous quotes containing the words faint and/or smile:
“And so the needle pricked her fingers;
She fidgeted but didnt go;
A faint forgetfulness of reasons
Kept her with him. Time is slow.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us. On either side, the primeval forest stretches away uninterrupted to Canada, or to the South Sea; to the white man a drear and howling wilderness, but to the Indian a home, adapted to his nature, and cheerful as the smile of the Great Spirit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
