Famous quotes containing the words live, oak and/or grove:
“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd....

“Where he swings in the wind and rain,
In the sun and in the snow,
Without pleasure, without pain,
On the dead oak tree bough.”
—Edward Thomas (18781917)
“Worry and brown desk
Stain it by infusion. There arent enough tags at the end,
And the grove is blind, blossoming, but we are too porous to hear it.”
