Sacred Tree

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or tree:

“Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David’s harp of solemn sound.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

“Books, gentlemen, are a species of men, and introduced to them you circulate in the “very best society” that this world can furnish, without the intolerable infliction of “dressing” to go into it. In your shabbiest coat and cosiest slippers you may socially chat even with the fastidious Earl of Chesterfield, and lounging under a tree enjoy the divinest intimacy with my late lord of Verulam.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
