Lord Maples

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or maples:

“I’ve never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

“One wonders that the tithing-men and fathers of the town are not out to see what the trees mean by their high colors and exuberance of spirits, fearing that some mischief is brewing. I do not see what the Puritans did at this season, when the maples blaze out in scarlet. They certainly could not have worshiped in groves then. Perhaps that is what they built meeting-houses and fenced them round with horse-sheds for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
