Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forests:

    “Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
    She that has that is clad in complete steel,
    And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
    May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
    Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
    Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
    No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
    Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
