Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

“What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey,
The fields are fragrant and the woods are green.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“At last he rose, and twitch’d his mantle blue,
Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
