Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

“A filmy trash
Litters the black woods with the death
Of men; and one last breath

Curls from the monstrous chimney. . . .”

“Out of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When Death and Shame would woo Him last,
From under the trees they drew Him last:
‘Twas on a tree they slew Him—last
When out of the woods He came.”
—Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
