Redwood Summer

Famous quotes containing the words redwood and/or summer:

“Nixon is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump for a speech on conservation.”

“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
