Famous quotes containing the words abbey and/or wood:

    “The Abbey always reminds me of that old toast, “Above lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter, as though the dead were there.””
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    “We worshipped,
    we parted green from green,
    we sought further thickets,
    we dipped our ankles
    through leaf-mould and earth,
    and wood and wood-bank enchanted us.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
