Brown Tree

Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or tree:

    ... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

    The wind had seized the tree and ha, and ha,
    It held the shivering, the shaken limbs,
    Then bathed its body in the leaping lake.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
