Famous quotes containing the words gliding and/or trees:
“How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The very dew seemed to hang upon the trees later into the day than usual, as on the sides of mountains.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
