Famous quotes containing the words triple and/or tree:
“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing, “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!””
