Mango Trees

Famous quotes containing the words mango and/or trees:

    I don’t see any mango buds,
    Mother-in-Law,
    and the wind
    with that Malabar smell
    isn’t blowing,
    but my longing alone says
    that spring has come.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    A long war like this makes you realise the society you really prefer, the home, goats chickens and dogs and casual acquaintances. I find myself not caring at all for gardens flowers or vegetables cats cows and rabbits, one gets tired of trees vines and hills, but houses, goats chickens dogs and casual acquaintances never pall.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
