Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or tree:

“The rain has spoiled the farmer’s day;
Shall sorrow put my books away?
Thereby are two days lost.”

“There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
