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)

    And if joy were not on the earth,
    There were an end of change and birth,
    And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
    And in some gloomy barrow lie
    Folded like a frozen fly....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the wood he travels glad,
    Without better fortune had,
    Melancholy without bad.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
