Grey Forest

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or forest:

    The good grey guardians of art
    Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
    Impartially protective, though
    Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
