Rain Forest

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forest:

“Tasting of the sweet damp woods and of the rain one inch above the meadow:

It was like feasting upon air.”
—William Jay Smith (b. 1918)

“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)
