Oak Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or leaves:

    Where he swings in the wind and rain,
    In the sun and in the snow,
    Without pleasure, without pain,
    On the dead oak tree bough.
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    Life is first boredom, then fear.
    Whether or not we use it, it goes,
    And leaves what something hidden from us chose,
    And age, and then the only end of age.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
