Pohon Pinus Quotes & Sayings

Through all his years of roving, even on nights like this, he had remained blind to the beauty of the sea, and now his feeling toward it had settled into weary hatred. He knew its effects of blended color, its wide gradations of sound and action, the tireless charm of a sailing ship's effortless movement, the quality of silent distance and the wonder of the skies. Dimly at times, in moments of rare emotion, he had caught a glimpse of the mystic hand that beckons beyond the horizon and felt for a little while the fated urge of the wanderer. But that was in the beginning, long ago when he had first gone to sea, and he had forgotten it.

There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful. — Thomas Jefferson

Cyrano: The leaves
Roxane: What color
Perfect Venetian red! Look at them fall.
