Branch Cuts

Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or cuts:

“That man’s the true Conservative
Who lops the mouldered branch away.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“He sent for lancewood to make the thills;
The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees;
The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
But lasts like iron for things like these;
The hubs of logs from the “Settler’s ellum,”—
Last of its timber,—they couldn’t sell ‘em,”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
