Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or forests:
“To warm the frozen swamp as best it could
With the slow smokeless burning of decay.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Sprung from the West,
He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
—Edwin Markham (18521940)
