Quotations
Quote of the Day

We all travel the milky way together, trees and men... trees are travellers, in the ordinary sense. They make journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true: but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree-wavings - many of them not so much.

Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden.
