Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or oaks:
“The alcoholic trance is not just a haze, as though the eyes were also unshaven. It is not a mere buzzing in the ears, a dizziness or disturbance of balance. One arrives in the garden again, at nursery time, when the gentle animals are fed and in all the world there are only toys.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“He that depends
Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
And hews down oaks with rushes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
