Upright Trees

Famous quotes containing the words upright and/or trees:

    “Come gather round me Parnellites
    And praise our chosen man,
    Stand upright on your legs awhile,
    Stand upright while you can,
    For soon we lie where he is laid
    And he is underground....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Though trees turn bare and girls turn wives,
    We shall afford our costly seasons;
    There is a gentleness survives
    That will outspeak and has its reasons.
    There is a loveliness exists,
    Preserves us, not for specialists.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
