Quotes about timber, page 7
Repeat That, Repeat
Repeat that, repeat,
Cuckoo, bird, and open ear wells, heart-springs, delightfully sweet,
With a ballad, with a ballad, a rebound
Off trundled timber and scoops of the hillside ground, hollow hollow hollow ground:
The whole landscape flushes on a sudden at a sound.

The Dust Collector
High amidst the sinking sands
The dust collector sinks his hands
Into the strange, bewildered lands
Where not a single timber stands
The sun is dull; a raven flashes
Eyes as dim as buzzard ashes
Long and lovely are her lashes
Sweet and dim her shadow crashes

Iwas
Within you,
Within us,
Within me;
According to the course of this world;
But i am Iwas in the land of timber! !
Sealed,
Guaranteeing,
To think;
But i am an ambassador in your land,
And like the muse of love in the land of joy!
But, i will always remember you in my prayers.

Autumnal Homecoming
Memory, buried hope
Is preserved by this brown timber,
Dahlias hang over it
Ever more silent homecoming,
The dark reflection of childish years
By the decayed garden,
That tears fall from blue eyelids
Irresistibly;
Gloom's crystalline minutes
Gleam over

All Things Decay And Die
All things decay with time: The forest sees
The growth and down-fall of her aged trees;
That timber tall, which three-score lustres stood
The proud dictator of the state-like wood,
I mean the sovereign of all plants, the oak,
Droops, dies, and falls without the cleaver's stroke.

Aminatu
Michal loved David and,
I love you oh Aminatu!
Because my eyes are always on you.
Men of all nations,
Women of all nations,
To cut the timber like the Sidonians!
My sweet love is for you oh Aminatu.
Ten moveable acts of love,
From the entrance of Hamath;
I am in love with you oh Aminatu.

Vuph
Coat them with bee-wax, varnish and oil;
And i will be there to love you!
For the possibilities of your locally grown timber is part of my muse.
I am like the carpenter's toolbox and my name is Vuph,
And i have food and lodging for you on this love;
But you are here to fulfil your mission.

Timberlake
I am like the timber in your lake and,
My name is Timberlake;
And i knew you before you came to me because,
I saw you among the beautiful ladies last night.
The sky is red for a fair weather today,
And your love is as white as light!
But watch your nakedness in the mirror and see what you need to change.

Jungheimer's
In western fields of corn and northern timber lands,
They talk about me, a saloon with a soul,
The soft red lights, the long curving bar,
The leather seats and dim corners,
Tall brass spittoons, a nigger cutting ham,
And the painting of a woman half-dressed thrown reckless across a bed after a night of booze and riots.

Abreast
Alike,
Afar,
Abreast,
Alot,
Abode,
And like the presentations of your descendants!
But you are about to learn from the scribe,
And like the best of the Irish Dance.
Beans and fried plantain,
The timber of Ghana and the oil of Ghana;
But with red, gold and green to satisfy your muse!
Because you are all that it takes.
