Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or woods:
“When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Thou waitest late and com’st alone,
When woods are bare and birds are flown,”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
