Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or oaks:
“That you are fair or wise is vain,

That sheds beauty on the rose.”

He had a hen, he had a pig in sight.
He had a well, he had the rain to catch.
He had a ten-by-twenty garden patch.
Nor did he lack for common entertainment.
That I assume was what our passing train meant.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
