Lowland Rain Forests

Famous quotes containing the words lowland, rain and/or forests:

    In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland,
    At the sea-down’s edge between windward and lee,
    Walled round with rocks as an inland island,
    The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 7:25.

    Sprung from the West,
    He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
    The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
    The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
    His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
    Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
