Sugar Pine Lumber

Famous quotes containing the words sugar, pine and/or lumber:

    You have witchcraft in your lips, Kate. There is more
    eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of
    the French council.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
    And there’s your pristine earth all freed
    From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
    And ready again for the grass to own.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
