Sitka Spruce Top

Famous quotes containing the words spruce and/or top:

    “And then we’ll sit
    in the shadowy spruce and
    pick the bones
    of careless mice,
    while the long moon drifts
    toward Asia”
    —John Haines (b. 1924)

    “Atheism..., that bugbear of women and fools, is the very top and perfection of free-thinking. It is the grand arcanum to which a true genius naturally riseth, by a certain climax or gradation of thought, and without which he can never possess his soul in absolute liberty and repose.”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)
