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)

“‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
