Yew Tree Quotes

“The yew tree is the most important of all the healing trees, it said. It lives for thousands of years. Its berries, its bark, its leaves, its sap, its pulp, its wood, they all thrum and burn and twist with life. It can cure almost any ailment man suffers from, mixed and treated by the right apothecary.”
― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

“Of all the trees in Ireland the yew commands most awe , venerable and terrible they witness human flaw .”
― Christine Irving, Sitting On The Hag Seat: A Celtic Knot of Poems
