Trees

Famous quotes containing the word trees:

“If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“It was when the trees were leafless first in November
And their blackness became apparent, that one first
Knew the eccentric to be the base of design.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“For many are the trees of God that grow
In Paradise, and various, yet unknown
To us; in such abundance lies our choice
As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched,
Still hanging incorruptible, till men
Grow up to their provision, and more hands
Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.””
—John Milton (1608–1674)
