Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or west:

    “For Nature ever faithful is
    To such as trust her faithfulness.
    When the forest shall mislead me,
    When the night and morning lie,
    When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
    ‘Twill be time enough to die.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.
    Now spurs the lated traveller apace
    To gain the timely inn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
