Almond Trees

Famous quotes containing the words almond and/or trees:

“I want to go back, out of the bad stories,
But there’s always the possibility that the next one . . .
No, it’s another almond tree, or a ring-swallowing frog . . .
Yet they are beautiful as we people them
With ourselves.”

Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
