what are good sources for poetic lines?

i am making a "found poem" for english, which is where you take lines written in books, and put them together to make a poem. what books have beautiful poetic lines about outdoors and nature, or maybe just the beach or something?
thanks!

Travel brochures, bird watching guidebooks, plant guidebooks, nature magazines... that kind of stuff should work fine for this.

Quotation books for one. Try:

Poetry anthologies might also be useful. You should be able to find a selection of these at your public library.
