Big Oak Flat

Famous quotes containing the words big, oak and/or flat:

“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)

“The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines.
They are round
Tapering toward the top.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
