Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or forests:
“Waters above! Eternal springs!
The dew that silvers the Doves wings!
O welcome, welcome to the sad:
Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!
Many fair evnings, many flowrs
Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,
Have I enjoyed,”
—Henry Vaughan (16221695)
“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 (16081674)
