Woods

Famous quotes containing the word woods:

    A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.

    Hearing your words, and not a word among them
    Tuned to my liking, on a salty day
    When inland woods were pushed by winds, that flung them
    Hissing to leeward like a ton of spray,
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Something startles me where I thought I was safest,
    I withdraw from the still woods I loved,
