Spruce Woods

Famous quotes containing the words spruce woods, spruce and/or woods:

    “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)

    “And then we’ll sit
    in the shadowy spruce and
    pick the bones
    of careless mice,
    while the long moon drifts
    toward Asia”
    —John Haines (b. 1924)

    “A filmy trash
    Litters the black woods with the death
    Of men; and one last breath

    Curls from the monstrous chimney. . . .”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
