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)

    “The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity ... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
