Branches

Famous quotes containing the word branches:

“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

And man a singing wind;
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find.”

Out of this stony rubbish?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
