Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or snail:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”

wears his mother all day,
he hides his mysterious bottom
as if it were rotten fruit.”
