Oak Grove Village

Famous quotes containing the words oak, grove and/or village:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He was burned, so he ran into the bamboo grove, but the grove caught fire.”

“To fair Fidele’s grassy tomb
Soft maids and village hinds shall bring
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
