Tree Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or spirits:

    That sound, everywhere about us, of the sea—
    the tree among its tresses has always heard it,
    and the horse dips his black body in the sound
    stretching his neck as if towards drinking water ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    But we are spirits of another sort.
    I with the morning’s love have oft made sport,
    And like a forester the groves may tread
    Even till the eastern gate, all fiery-red,
    Opening on Neptune with fair blessèd beams,
    Turns unto yellow gold his salt green streams.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
