Lost Woods

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or woods:

    Preschoolers think and talk in concrete, literal terms. When they hear a phrase such as “losing your temper,” they may wonder where the lost temper can be found. Other expressions they may hear in times of crisis—raising your voice, crying your eyes out, going to pieces, falling apart, picking on each other, you follow in your father’s footsteps—may be perplexing.
    Ruth Formanek (20th century)

    Hearing your words, and not a word among them
    Tuned to my liking, on a salty day
    When inland woods were pushed by winds, that flung them
    Hissing to leeward like a ton of spray,
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
