Dwarf Chinkapin Oak

Famous quotes containing the words dwarf and/or oak:

    When I lie down to love,
    old dwarf heart shakes her head.
    Like an imbecile she was born old.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
