West Coast Lumber

Famous quotes containing the words west, coast and/or lumber:

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Beyond this island bound
    By a thin sea of flesh
    And a bone coast ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    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)
