Forest Fires

Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or fires:

    Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest only toward the heavens, above men’s heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My flowery and green age was passing away, and I feeling a chill in
    the fires had been wasting my heart, for I was drawing near the
    hillside above the grave.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
