Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    “It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one’s bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one’s head under the cover, giving one’s self up to it completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind. But there is still a better bed, full of divine odors. It is our sweet, our profound, our impenetrable friendship.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Bare woods, whose branches strain,
    Deep caves and dreary main,—
    Wail, for the world’s wrong.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
    Oh how hideous it is
    To see three generations of one house gathered together!
    It is like an old tree with shoots,
    And with some branches rotted and falling.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
