Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or tree:
“A strange age of the world this, when empires, kingdoms, and republics come a-begging to a private man’s door, and utter their complaints at his elbow! I cannot take up a newspaper but I find that some wretched government or other, hard pushed and on its last legs, is interceding with me, the reader, to vote for it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It never had been inside the room,
And only one of the two
Was afraid in an oft-repeated dream
Of what the tree might do.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
