Big Timber

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or timber:

“The teeming Autumn big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime
Like widowed wombs after their lords’ decease.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The primitive wood is always and everywhere damp and mossy, so that I traveled constantly with the impression that I was in a swamp; and only when it was remarked that this or that tract, judging from the quality of the timber on it, would make a profitable clearing, was I reminded, that if the sun were let in it would make a dry field, like the few I had seen, at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
