Usage examples for Poplars

Famous quotes with Poplars

• How gently rock yon poplars high Against the reach of primrose sky With heaven's pale candles stored.

  Jean Ingelow
• Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is.

  Max Muller
• All the efforts of several hundred thousand people, crowded in a small space, to disfigure the land on which they lived; all the stone they covered it with to keep it barren; how so diligently every sprouting blade of grass was removed; all the smoke of coal and naphtha; all the cutting down of trees and driving off of cattle could not shut out the spring, even from the city. The sun was shedding its light; the grass, revivified, was blooming forth, where it was left uncut, not only on the greenswards of the boulevard, but between the flag-stones, and the birches, poplars and wild-berry trees were unfolding their viscous leaves; the limes were unfolding their buds; the daws, sparrows and pigeons were joyfully making their customary nests, and the flies were buzzing on the sun-warmed walls. Plants, birds, insects and children were equally joyful. Only men—grown-up men—continued cheating and tormenting themselves and each other. People saw nothing holy in this spring morning, in this beauty of God's world—a gift to all living creatures—inclining to peace, good-will and love, but worshiped their own inventions for imposing their will on each other.

  Leo Tolstoy
• Far in a western brookland That bred me long ago The poplars stand and tremble By pools I used to know.

  A. E. Housman
• Dear friend, if it be your’s to have in some deep vale a home, Where you may dream of faith and fate, and all the great, to come. If such a place of tranquil rest be to your future given, Where every hour of solitude is consecrate to heaven, Oh, leave it not ! let this vain life fret its few hours afar, Where joy departs, and glory mocks the wide world’s weary war Let not its rude and angry tide with jarring torrent wake The silence that the poplars love, of your own limpid lake.

  Letitia Elizabeth Landon
