Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or oaks:
“No one would know except for ancient maps
That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under,
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.”

“He that depends
Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
And hews down oaks with rushes.”
