Strange Tree

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or tree:

    Broken by great waves,
    the wavelets flung it here,
    this sea-gliding creature,
    this strange creature like a weed....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The whole tree itself is but one leaf, and rivers are still vaster leaves whose pulp is intervening earth, and towns and cities are the ova of insects in their axils.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
