Famous quotes containing the word trees:

    “Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Then now is the chance for the flowers
    That can’t stand mowers and plowers.
    It must be now, though, in season
    Before the not mowing brings trees on....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
