Coral Tree

Famous quotes containing the words coral and/or tree:

“Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! Now I hear them—ding-dong bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A tree swayed overwater.
A voice said:
Stay. Stay by the slip-ooze. Stay.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
