Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or woods:
“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.”

“Thou waitest late and com’st alone,
When woods are bare and birds are flown,”
