“… Cedars and Palm trees are not trained and pruned by man. They are evergreens and are beautiful objects at all seasons of the year. Everywhere these trees are noteworthy, they makes landscapes beautiful, they cannot be hid..
sometimes I dare to flourish like a palm tree, pushing all strength upward in one erect column without a single branch. A pillar with a glorious capital. It has no growth to the right or to the left, but it sends all its force heavenward, bears its fruit as near the sky as possible,
and sometimes I lean in on the cedar :
she braves all storm and grows near eternal snows ; her sap keeps heart warm,her boughs strong..”
