Famous quotes containing the word branches:
“Think how stood the white pine tree on the shore of the Chesuncook, its branches soughing with the four winds, and every individual needle trembling in the sunlight,think how it stands with it now,sold, perchance, to the New England Friction-Match Company!”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main,
Wail, for the worlds wrong.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
