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)
“When love and adventure are finished, it’s nice to have getting and spending to fall back on.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
