Damp

Famous quotes containing the word damp:

    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)

    Here love’s damp muscle dries and dies,
    Here break a kiss in no love’s quarry.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Rub a half potato on your wart
    and wrap it in a damp cloth. Close
    your eyes and whirl three times and throw.
    Then bury rag and spud exactly where they fall.
    Richard Hugo (1923–1982)
