Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or oaks:
“Curse of the orchard,
Blemish on the land’s fair countenance,
I have grown strong for strength denied, for struggle
In hostile woods. I keep alive by being the troublesome,
Indestructible
Stinkweed of truth.”
—Naomi Long Madgett (b. 1923)
“He that depends
Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
And hews down oaks with rushes.”
