Western Branch

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or branch:

“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
