Famous quotes containing the words holly and/or farms:
“The holly and the ivy
Are plants that are well known
Of all the trees that grow in the woods
The holly bears the crown.”

“Look. And the dancers move
On the departed, snow bushed green, wanton in moon light
As a dust of pigeons. Exulting, the grave hooved
Horses, centaur dead, turn and tread the drenched white
Paddocks in the farms of birds. The dead oak walks for love.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
