CALLAWAY GARDENS PART 3

  

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes -
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come-
A Chinese Proverb

I willingly confess to so great a partiality for trees as tempts me to respect a man in exact proportion to his respect for them.  ~James Russell Lowell

 

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver~Martin Luther

 

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness~Kahlil Gibran

  

 To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong.  We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe~Henry Ward Beecher

 

‎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-The Letters 1799
