Famous quotes containing the word lumber:
“a child who traced voyages
indelibly all over the atlas, who now in a far country
remembers the first river, the first
field, bricks and lumber dumped in it ready for building,
that new smell, and remembers
the walls of the garden, the first light.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
And theres your pristine earth all freed
From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
And ready again for the grass to own.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read,
With loads of learned lumber in his head.
With his own tongue still edifies his ears,
And always listening to himself appears.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
