Famous quotes containing the word lumber:

    To drive Paul out of any lumber camp
    All that was needed was to say to him,
    “How is the wife, Paul?” and he’d disappear.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    a child who traced voyages
    indelibly all over the atlas, who now in a far country
    remembers the first river, the first
    field, bricks and lumber dumped in it ready for building,
    that new smell, and remembers
    the walls of the garden, the first light.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read,
    With loads of learned lumber in his head.
    With his own tongue still edifies his ears,
    And always listening to himself appears.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
