Famous quotes containing the word trees:
“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“One generation plants the trees under which another takes its ease.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The trees of the mind are black.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
