Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:
“an endless wind
Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“There are women in middle life, whose days are crowded with practical duties, physical strain, and moral responsibility ... they fail to see that some use of the mind, in solid reading or in study, would refresh them by its contrast with carking cares, and would prepare interest and pleasure for their later years. Such women often sink into depression, as their cares fall away from them, and many even become insane. They are mentally starved to death.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
