- Quotes by Bill William Bryson
“Woods are not like other spaces. To begin with they are cubic. Their trees surround you, loom over you, press in from all sides. They make you feel small and confused and vulnerable, like a small child lost in a crowd of strange legs”. - Quotes by Robert Browning
“Any nose, May ravage with impunity a rose. Rats? They fought the dogs and killed the cats, and bit the babiesin the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats, And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles, Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women’s chats, By drowning their speaking, With shrieking and squeaking, In fifty different sharps and flats. That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture, The first fine careless rapture!”
