Famous quotes containing the words tree, ring and/or width:

    “Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—

    And with some branches rotted and falling.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “It is engend’red in the eyes,
    With gazing fed; and fancy dies
    In the cradle where it lies.
    Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
    I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Newly stumbling to and fro
    All they find, outside the fold,
    Is a wretched width of cold.”
