Montane Rain Forests

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forests:

“There’s always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down.”

“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)
