Famous quotes containing the word trees:

    “Who shall describe the inexpressable tenderness and immortal life of the grim forest, where Nature, though it be midwinter, is ever in her spring, where the moss-grown and decaying trees are not old, but seem to enjoy a perpetual youth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Now close the windows and hush all the fields:
    If the trees must, let them silently toss....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The trees are coming into leaf
    Like something almost being said....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
