Ash Trees

Famous quotes containing the words ash and/or trees:

“Greasing the bodies of adulterers
Like Hiroshima ash and eating in.
The sin. The sin.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

“The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld;
And in the midst of spoils and slaves, we thieves
And pirates of the universe, shut out
Daily to a more thin and outward rind,
Turn pale and starve. Therefore, to our sick eyes,
The stunted trees look sick, the summer short,
Clouds shade the sun, which will not tan our hay,
And nothing thrives to reach its natural term;”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
