Moist Adiabatic Lapse

Famous quotes containing the words moist and/or lapse:

“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“There is something even in the lapse of time by which time recovers itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
