Lone Elm

Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or elm:

“Poor is the triumph o’er the timid hare!
Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired—”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“Men nowhere, east or west, live yet a natural life, round which the vine clings, and which the elm willingly shadows. Man would desecrate it by his touch, and so the beauty of the world remains veiled to him. He needs not only to be spiritualized, but naturalized, on the soil of earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
