Damp

Famous quotes containing the word damp:

    Tasting of the sweet damp woods and of the rain one inch above the meadow:

    It was like feasting upon air.
    William Jay Smith (b. 1918)

    Men felt a chill in their hearts; a damp in their minds. In a desperate effort to snuggle their feelings into some sort of warmth, one subterfuge was tried after another ... sentences swelled, adjectives multiplied, lyrics became epics.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    If only I could nudge you from this sleep,
    My maimed darling, my skittery pigeon.
    Over this damp grave I speak the words of my love:
    I, with no rights in this matter,
    Neither father nor lover.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
