Peat Swamp Forests

Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or forests:

“Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
