Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    You like it under the trees in autumn,
    Because everything is half dead.
    The wind moves like a cripple among the leaves
    And repeats words without meaning.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Then one will say, ‘He is not dead, maybe,
    Who was mortality’s unshaken lover
    Who loved the spring upon the Tennessee,
    The hushed fall and, again, the coming clover.’
    None will recall, not knowing, the twisted roads
    Where the mind wanders till the heart corrodes.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
