Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

    “Cling with life to the maid;
    But when the surprise,
    First vague shadow of surmise
    Flits across her bosom young,
    Of a joy apart from thee,
    Free be she, fancy-free;
    Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
    Nor the palest rose she flung
    From her summer diadem.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The tree of Knowledge is a Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
