Famous quotes containing the words wood, burning and/or stoves:
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“us burning plains,
Bristled with cities, us the sea received.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“We do not suspect how much our chimneys have concealed; and now air-tight stoves have come to conceal all the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
