Cypress Trees

Famous quotes containing the words cypress and/or trees:

    For I thought of her grave below the hill,
    Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,
    And I thought, “Were she only living still,
    How I could forgive her, and love her!”
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    For many are the trees of God that grow
    In Paradise, and various, yet unknown
    To us; in such abundance lies our choice
    As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched,
    Still hanging incorruptible, till men
    Grow up to their provision, and more hands
    Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.”
    John Milton (1608–1674)
