Sacred Tree

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or tree:

“the sacred few who could not tame
Their spirits to the conquerors—”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
