Famous quotes containing the words umbrella and/or tree:

    There are certain things—as, a spider, a ghost,
    The income-tax, gout, an umbrella for three—
    That I hate, but the thing that I hate the most
    Is a thing they call the Sea.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, & they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals & is utterly useless to any one; a blight never does good to a tree, & if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
