Wood Smoke

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or smoke:

“it was older sure than this year’s cutting,
Or even last year’s or the year’s before.
The wood was gray and the bark warping off it
And the pile somewhat sunken. Clematis
Had wound strings round and round it like a bundle.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“All those large dreams by which men long live well
Are magic-lanterned on the smoke of hell;”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
