Famous quotes containing the words poplar and/or wood:
“The Poplar grows up straight and tall,
The Pear-tree spreads along the wall,”
—Sara Coleridge (1802–1852)
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
