This pic, above, inspired Terry Dawson to write this poem:

With perfect certainties all know
The wondrous ways of trees that grow.

Their forms sacred against the sky
Inspire those who pass them by

While thirsting roots have stealthy-found
Their liquid banquet underground

And each has with perfection laid
Soft, leafy resting place in shade.

And with gnarled trunk and scarred, bowed bough
Yet glad-beheld by man somehow.

From us their crafty ways are hidden
Which bounties bare each year unbidden.

As if touched with nobility
The trees give all and give it free.
