Quotes about timber, page 6
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

There's a basic kind of tension here. It's between those who say, I'd like to clear cut this forest and reduce it to saw timber because that's an economically productive thing for me to do.

Woman to fall on man
A tender pepper vine grew on a timber.
Both were in embrace, she clinging.
A hardy pepper learnt to grow erect,
Without a support. Lust of clasp is lost.
Erect woman is at loss.

I came to feel very, very sentimental about those sets, which is ludicrous, because they represent everything which is transitory and insubstantial. It's absurd that one should feel sentimental about timber and canvas.

From the early days of European migration to America, in the 17th Century, the prototype of buildings was based on English precedent, even if mostly translated into the locally available material in abundance: timber.

Is the God the saviour?
I grew a tree and sold it for timber.
I reared a goat and sold it for a feast.
Can I be to them the god of saviour?
The God sees I live, and takes me by death.
Can He be to me the god of saviour?

These mountains appear to be almost entirely composed of stratas of rock of various colours (mostly red) and are partially covered with a dwarfish growth of pine and cedar, which are the only species of timber to be seen.

Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
