Famous quotes containing the word isle:

    “It is so rare to meet with a man outdoors who cherishes a worthy thought in his mind, which is independent of the labor of his hands. Behind every man’s busy-ness there should be a level of undisturbed serenity and industry, as within the reef encircling a coral isle there is always an expanse of still water, where the depositions are going on which will finally raise it above the surface.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “She carries in the dishes,
    And lays them in a row.
    To an isle in the water
    With her would I go.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
