Famous quotes containing the words poison and/or hemlock:
“I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
