Oak Leaf Clusters

Famous quotes containing the words oak, leaf and/or clusters:

    Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.
    John Dyer (1699–1758)

    I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Where we such clusters had,
    As made us nobly wild, not mad;
    And yet each verse of thine
    Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
