Famous quotes containing the words stanley and/or woods:
“Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
“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)
