We were so far back in the woods, they almost had to pipe in sunlight.

Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience.

We had a really good start in our neck of the woods. Last year was a very different year.

In Hollywood the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can't read. If they could read their stuff, they'd stop writing.

While we're not completely out of the woods, I am glad to see the department understands the magnitude of this proposal and the need for further discussion,

All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. It´s very clever.
