Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    “A thousand Christmas trees! at what apiece?”
    He felt some need of softening that to me:
    “A thousand trees would come to thirty dollars.”
    Then I was certain I had never meant
    To let him have them.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The bay-trees in our country are all withered,
    And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven.
    The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,
    And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change.
    Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap;
    The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
    The other to enjoy by rage and war.
    These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
