Olive Trees

Famous quotes containing the words olive and/or trees:

    Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    The trees that have it in their pent-up buds
    To darken nature and be summer woods—
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
