Famous quotes containing the words scenic and/or oaks:
“Hence from scenic bacchanal,
Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
Smallness that you had to spend,
Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
Of your overseas disease
Rot and rout you by degrees.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“He that depends
Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
And hews down oaks with rushes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
