Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or fife:

    “Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
    Oh how hideous it is

    It is like an old tree with shoots,
    And with some branches rotted and falling.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.”
