Famous quotes containing the words sexton and/or woods:
“Let’s face it, I have been momentary.
A luxury. A bright red sloop in the harbor,”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
