Grey Forest

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or forest:

    While on that old grey stone I sat
    Under the old wind-broken tree,
    I knew that One is animate,
    Mankind inanimate phantasy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The moose will, perhaps, one day become extinct; but how naturally then, when it exists only as a fossil relic, and unseen as that, may the poet or sculptor invent a fabulous animal with similar branching and leafy horns ... to be the inhabitant of such a forest as this!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
