Famous quotes containing the words leafy and/or stems:
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let me walk through the fields of paper
touching with my wand
dry stems and stunted
butterflies....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
