Oak Orchard River

Famous quotes containing the words oak, orchard and/or river:

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This saying good-by on the edge of the dark
    And the cold to an orchard so young in the bark
    Reminds me of all that can happen to harm
    An orchard away at the end of the farm....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    the folk-lore
    Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
    The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
