Service Tree

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or tree:

    In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.
    George Grosz (1893–1959)

    On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
    Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
    Singing, ‘Willow, titwillow, titwillow’?
    Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried,
    “Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
