Famous quotes containing the words arctic and/or lands:

    “Does the first wild-goose care
    whether the others follow or not?
    I don’t think so he is so happy to be off
    he knows where he is going
    so we must be drawn or we must fly,
    like the snow-geese of the Arctic circle.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Old men who never cheated, never doubted,
    Communicated monthly, sit and stare
    At the new suburb stretched beyond the run-way
    Where a young man lands hatless from the air.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
