Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:
“Society is all but rude,
To this delicious solitude.
No white nor red was ever seen
So amorous as this lovely green.
Fond lovers, cruel as their flame,
Cut in these trees their mistress name:
Little, alas, they know or heed
How far these beauties hers exceed!
Fair trees, wheresoeer your barks I wound,
No name shall but your own be found.”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressingchitchatcomplimentary nonsenseIn short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (17521840)
