Famous quotes containing the words branches and/or running:
“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)
“But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”
