Strange Tree

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or tree:

    O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
    As was my sire’s that winter day,
    How strange it seems, with so much gone
    Of life and love, to still live on!
    Ah, brother! only I and thou
    Are left of all that circle now,—
    The dear home faces whereupon
    That fitful firelight paled and shone.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Cynicism is the humour of hatred.
    Herbert Beerbohm, Sir Tree (1853–1917)
