Island Trees

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or trees:

And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.”
