Yew Trees

Famous quotes containing the words yew and/or trees:

    My silks and fine array,
    My smiles and languish’d air,
    By Love are driv’n away;
    And mournful lean Despair
    Brings me yew to deck my grave:
    Such end true lovers have.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    The trees persist, yeasty and sensuous,
    as thick as saints.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
