Lone Cypress

Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or cypress:

    Still doth the soul, from its lone fastness high,
    Upon our life a ruling effluence send.
    And when it fails, fight as we will, we die;
    And while it lasts, we cannot wholly end.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    For I thought of her grave below the hill,
    Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,
    And I thought, “Were she only living still,
    How I could forgive her, and love her!”
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)
