Dry Forests

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or forests:

    There is not even silence in the mountains
    But dry sterile thunder without rain
    There is not even solitude in the mountains
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The great pines stand at a considerable distance from each other. Each tree grows alone, murmurs alone, thinks alone. They do not intrude upon each other. The Navajos are not much in the habit of giving or of asking help. Their language is not a communicative one, and they never attempt an interchange of personality in speech. Over their forests there is the same inexorable reserve. Each tree has its exalted power to bear.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
