Weeping Willows Quotes

“Ranging in different shades of pink from pale to vibrant, the peonies seemed to burst open practically overnight, swarms of bees zipping from flower to flower. In the orchard, fluffy white flowers adorned the cherry trees. The lake glimmered in the distance, the strands of the weeping willows blowing in the warm spring breeze. I'd read somewhere that weeping willows represented strength and were able to withstand the greatest of challenges. I wanted to be the tree, perseverant and ready for anything, even a storm.”

“There was a place beside the River Thaw where she sometimes passed a lazy afternoon when she could escape from Mademoiselle. It was a nest of sorts, or a bower, shielded by a stand of three weeping willows so old that their roots extended down the bank into the river itself. Their golden-leaved branches hung right down to the earth, like the ribs of a broken umbrella.”
