Trees
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
William Blake
"Trees give peace to the souls of men."
Nora Waln
"When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold, Beneath the
roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold"
Treebeard [Tolkien]
