Oak Wreath

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or wreath:

    Where he swings in the wind and rain,
    In the sun and in the snow,
    Without pleasure, without pain,
    On the dead oak tree bough.
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    And before, with banner red,
    Through the blizzard snow unseen,
    All unharmed by hail of lead,
    With a step like snow so light,
    Showered in myriad pearls of snow.
    Crowned in wreath of roses white,
    Christ leads onward as they go.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
