Elm Tree Quotes

“A sheet of white extends to the lone dark vertical of the elm tree in the centre ... It is too perfect, to inviolate ... The snow is graced with waves written by the wind, the elm raises crooked arms in sleeves of white.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

“The elm is the most respectable of trees, over-pompous if anything, but perfectly well-bred, and the shade it casts is no ordinary shade, but solid and self-assured as befits the estate of a country family.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, Mrs Craddock
