Red Spruce

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or spruce:

    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “In some of those dense fir and spruce woods there is hardly room for the smoke to go up. The trees are a standing night, and every fir and spruce which you fell is a plume plucked from night’s raven wing.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
