Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or oaks:
“Death hath
had a thousand doors to let out life,

I’ll not an hour outlive.”

“He had the oaks for heating and for light.
He had a hen, he had a pig in sight.
He had a well, he had the rain to catch.
He had a ten-by-twenty garden patch.
Nor did he lack for common entertainment.
That I assume was what our passing train meant.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
