Strange Tree

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or tree:

    O! grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
    And careful hours with time’s deformèd hand
    Have written strange defeatures in my face.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
