Bare

Famous quotes containing the word bare:

“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Out of the first warmth of spring,
And out of the shine of the menlocks,
Among the bare and crooked trees,
She found a helping from the cold,
Like a meaning in nothingness....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Though trees turn bare and girls turn wives,
We shall afford our costly seasons;
There is a gentleness survives
That will outspeak and has its reasons.
There is a loveliness exists,
Preserves us, not for specialists.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
