Famous quotes containing the words yew and/or tree:

    “Reptilian green the wrinkled throat,
    Green as a bough of yew the beard;
    He bent his head, and so I smote;”
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    “Books, gentlemen, are a species of men, and introduced to them you circulate in the “very best society” that this world can furnish, without the intolerable infliction of “dressing” to go into it. In your shabbiest coat and cosiest slippers you may socially chat even with the fastidious Earl of Chesterfield, and lounging under a tree enjoy the divinest intimacy with my late lord of Verulam.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
