Oak Grove Village

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

    “Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)

    “Worry and brown desk
    Stain it by infusion. There aren’t enough tags at the end,
    And the grove is blind, blossoming, but we are too porous to hear it.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Under a spreading chestnut-tree
    The village smithy stands;
    The smith, a mighty man is he,
    With large and sinewy hands;
    And the muscles of his brawny arms
    Are strong as iron bands.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
