Trees Marked

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or marked:

Content with death and shame.

From under the trees they drew Him last:
‘Twas on a tree they slew Him—last
When out of the woods He came.”
—Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)

“Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
