Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    In some of those dense fir and spruce woods there is hardly room for the smoke to go up. The trees are a standing night, and every fir and spruce which you fell is a plume plucked from night’s raven wing.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Lest, once more wandering from that heaven,
    I fall on some base heart unblest,
    Faithless to thee, false, unforgiven,
    And lose my everlasting rest.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
