Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

    You linger your little hour and are gone,
    And still the woods sweep leafily on....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Something startles me where I thought I was safest,
    I withdraw from the still woods I loved,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
