Famous quotes containing the words stump, brook and/or dam:
“The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us.

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“A brook that was the water of the house,
Cold as a spring as yet so near its source,
Too lofty and original to rage.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“The devil take one party and his dam the other!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
