Dry Forests

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or forests:

    The good die first
    And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
    Burn to the socket.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)
