Tropical Dry Forests

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, dry and/or forests:

    We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    I am renewed by death, thought of my death,
    The dry scent of a dying garden in September,
    The wind fanning the ash of a low fire.
    What I love is near at hand,
    Always, in earth and air.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    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)
