Swamp Laurel Oak

Famous quotes containing the words swamp, laurel and/or oak:

“A favorite of outdoor alcoholics, connoisseurs and Fundamentalists, these pills turn water into wine. In 10 minutes the most fetid swamp scum in the forest can become modest red, elusive and light on first taste, yet playful—one might say a trifle impudent—on the afterbite. Saves pack space by eliminating need for bulky corkscrew, decanter and bottles. Store pills on their sides in a cool dark place.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Wine Pills,” Avon Books (1982)

“Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
