Famous quotes containing the words hairy and/or tree:
“Down came the hairy talons
and horrible poison blade
And none of the garden noticed
that fizzing, hopeless fight.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
