Branches

Famous quotes containing the word branches:

Out of this stony rubbish?”

Deep caves and dreary main,—
Wail, for the world’s wrong.”

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....”
