Wood Drying/wood-water Relationships

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or drying:

    Let the palings of her bed
    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.
    That all the wood in blossoming,
    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The drying up a single tear has more
    Of honest fame than shedding seas of gore.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
