Famous quotes containing the words unpacked and/or tree:
“But to him
The love was a solid object, like a partly unpacked trunk,
As it was then, which is different now when remembered.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
