Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or flat:

“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“... we see the poor as a mass of shadow, painted in one flat grey wash, at the remote edges of our sunshine.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
