Quotes
'The fragrance of the linden, from blossom and from leaf, / Drifts through the summer evening, calm and deep.' - William C. Bryant
'A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; / Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: / For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; / His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, / On earth is not his equal.' - Martin Luther
'The linden, in the fervors of July, hums with a louder concert. When the wind sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime / As when some master-hand exulting sweeps / The keys of some great organ, where is heard / The jubilant choir of angels, whose sweet chant / Fills all the echoing vaults of Paradise.' - William Cullen Bryant
