=the woods=

When I think of "the woods" I think of a tame place, which is probably the opposite of WW's meaning - tame, for me, because my earliest memories of "the woods" are of a specially preserved spot in the midst of or just beyond a city. For me, the woods are tame because they are fenced in - just the opposite of WW's sense of utter unboundedness.
