Oak Brook

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or brook:

    When the red-cheeked, dancing girls, April and May, trip home to the wintry, misanthropic woods; even the barest, ruggedest, most thunder-cloven old oak will at least send forth some few green sprouts, to welcome such glad-hearted visitants.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    deep in the manhood his childhood
    so swiftly led to, a small brook rock-leaping
    into the rapt, imperious, seagoing river.
