Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

“No prayers or incense rose up in those hours
Which grew to be years, and every day came mute
Ghosts from the ovens, sitting through crisp air,
And settled upon his eyes in a black soot.”

Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
I sat now, for the wind was still.”
