Famous quotes containing the word maple:

    “Unloved, that beech will gather brown,
    This maple burn itself away;

    Unloved, the sun-flower, shining fair,
    Ray round with flames her disk of seed,
    And many a rose-carnation feed
    With summer spice the humming air;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Made Maple first take notice of her name.
    She asked her father and he told her, “Maple
    Maple is right.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Once they came on a maple in a glade,
    Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.”
