Sugar Pine

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or pine:

“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Lodgepole
coneseed waits for fire
And then thin forests of silver-grey.
in the void
a pine cone falls”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
