Erasmus Darwin - Family Tree

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

“My family pride is something inconceivable. I can’t help it. I was born sneering.”

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
