Famous quotes containing the words palm and/or trees:
“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
