Flowering Cherry Trees

Famous quotes containing the words flowering, cherry and/or trees:

    “Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
    Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
    Life overflows without ambitious pains;
    And rains down life until the basin spills,
    And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
    As though to choose whatever shape it wills....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I think it was your cherry pies.”

    “But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
