Gloomy Wood

Famous quotes containing the words gloomy wood, gloomy and/or wood:

    The sounding cataract
    Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
    The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
    Their colours and their forms, were then to me
    An appetite: a feeling and a love,
    That had no need of a remoter charm,
    By thought supplied, or any interest
    Unborrowed from the eye.—
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    I have now the gloomy prospect of retiring from office loaded with serious debts, which will materially affect the tranquility of my retirement.

    For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?
