Rain Forests

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forests:

    For where’er the sun does shine,
    And where’er the rain does fall,
    Babe can never hunger there,
    Nor poverty the mind appall.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)
