Bubble Core

Famous quotes containing the words bubble and/or core:

“Each swung in danger on its slender twig,
A bubble on a pipestem, growing big.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
