Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or tree:

“See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
Within the temple, devious walking, made
To wander by their melancholy minds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“You are wind in a stark tree,
you are the stark tree unbent,
you are a strung bow,
you are an arrow.”
