Subtropical Evergreen Forests

Famous quotes containing the words evergreen and/or forests:

    “The evergreen woods had a decidedly sweet and bracing fragrance; the air was a sort of diet-drink, and we walked on buoyantly in Indian file, stretching our legs.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Sprung from the West,
    He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
    The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
    The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
    His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
    Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
    —Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
