Trunks Quotes - Page 3

• Association is the delight of the heart, not less than of poetry. Alison observes that an autumn sunset, with its crimson clouds, glimmering trunks of trees, and wavering tints upon the grass, seems scarcely capable of embellishment. But if in this calm and beautiful glow the chime of a distant bell steal over the fields, the bosom heaves with the sensation that Dante so tenderly describes.

  And overpoise of multitudinous leaves.
  (In which a hundred fields might spill their dew
  And intense verdure, yet find room enough)
  Stood reconciling all the place with green.

• La religión de nuestros padres se cernía sobre nosotros, los niños, como la sombra de un poderoso árbol contra cuyo tronco descansábamos, mientras mirábamos maravillados a través de las grandes ramas que a medias ocultaban y a medias revelaban el cielo. Algunas de las ramas ya se estaban pudriendo, de modo que tal vez empezábamos a ver un poco más del cielo que nuestros mayores; pero el árbol estaba sano en su corazón.

• A kid thinks her mother is just that -- hers. A mother is also a woman, an independent being, who doesn't want to be reminded by anyone, child or otherwise, of her tree-trunk thighs. The world made women's private lives a public affair to people who knew them and even people who didn't.

• Rosemary burbujeaba de placer ante los baúles. Su ingenuidad respondía de todo corazón a la costosa sencillez de los Buzos, inconsciente de su complejidad y de su falta de inocencia, inconsciente de que todo era una selección de calidad más que de cantidad del bazar del mundo; y de que la sencillez de comportamiento también, la paz y la buena voluntad propias de un vivero, el énfasis en las virtudes más sencillas, formaban parte de un desesperado trato con los dioses y se habían alcanzado a través de luchas que ella no podía adivinar.

• We ask the leaf, "Are you complete in yourself?" And the leaf answers, "No, my life is in the branches." We ask the branch, and the branch answers, "No my life is in the root." We ask the root, and it answers, "No my life is in the trunk and the branches and the leaves. Keep the branches stripped of leaves, and I shall die," So it is with the great tree of being. Nothing is completely and merely individual.

There will be no time to sharpen them then.

• Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.
