Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or trees:
“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)
“an endless wind
Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
