Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or fall:
“On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Sang Willow, titwillow, titwillow!
And I said to him, Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing, Willow, titwillow, titwillow?
Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie? I cried,
Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressingchitchatcomplimentary nonsenseIn short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (17521840)
