Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:
“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Blond lady,
do you love us, love us, love us?
As I love America, you might mutter,
before you fall asleep.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
