Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or tree:
“How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“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)
