Subtropical Evergreen Forests

Famous quotes containing the words evergreen and/or forests:

    “We could not well camp higher, for want of fuel; and the trees here seemed so evergreen and sappy, that we almost doubted if they would acknowledge the influence of fire; but fire prevailed at last, and blazed here, too, like a good citizen of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.”
    —Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
