Tress Quotes

Within its gates I heard the sound
Of winds in cypress caverns caught
Of huddling tress that moaned, and sought
To whisper what their roots had found.
("A Dream of Fear”) (George Sterling)

Ah! love is even more fragile than its gifts! A tress of raven hair: oh, only those Whose souls have felt this one idolatry Can tell how precious is the slightest thing Affection gives and hallows.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Who hath not saved some trifling thing More prized than jewels rare, A faded flower, a broken ring, A tress of golden hair.

Ellen Clementine Howarth
