Famous quotes containing the words elm and/or trees:
“Men nowhere, east or west, live yet a natural life, round which the vine clings, and which the elm willingly shadows. Man would desecrate it by his touch, and so the beauty of the world remains veiled to him. He needs not only to be spiritualized, but naturalized, on the soil of earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The very dew seemed to hang upon the trees later into the day than usual, as on the sides of mountains.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
