Rain Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or tree:

    “O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy,
    In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!
    I feel too much thy blessing; make it less,
    For fear I surfeit.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
    Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
    Singing, ‘Willow, titwillow, titwillow’?
    Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried,
    “Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?””
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
