Tropical Dry Forests

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

    Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
    A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
    That frequently happens in tropical climes
    When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    A too-fluent green
    Suggested malice in the dry machine

    Of ocean, pondering dank stratagem.
    Who then beheld the figures of the clouds
    Like blooms secluded in the thick marine?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The forests are held cheap after the white pine has been culled out; and the explorers and hunters pray for rain only to clear the atmosphere of smoke.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
