Famous quotes containing the words public, oak and/or orchard:

    “People’s backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... transform
    into our flesh our
    deaths, crossing the street, plum, quince,
    living in the orchard and being
    hungry, and plucking
    the fruit.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
