Famous quotes containing the words tea and/or tree:
“When the tea is brought at five oclock,
And all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
The little black cat with bright green eyes
Is suddenly purring there.”

“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
