Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or forests:
“That swamp of impropriety ... in ... which two civilized beings will behave like cannibals.”

“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
