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)

    “Like to the tree of Tantalus she fled,
    And seeming lavish, sav’de her maydenhead.
    Ne’re king more sought to keepe his diademe;
    Than Hero this inestimable gemme.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
