Famous quotes containing the words mast and/or trees:
“What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the ship that will cross the sea,
We plant the mast to carry the sails,
We plant the planks to withstand the gales—
The keel, the keelson, and beam and knee—
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.”
—Henry Abbey (1842–1911)
“an endless wind
Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
