Philip Gilbert Hamerton Quote

I wonder how it is that so cheerful-looking a tree as the willow should ever have become associated with ideas of sadness.


The Sylvan Year: Leaves from the Note Book of Raoul Dubois (ed. 1876)


I wonder how it is that so cheerful-looking a tree as the willow should ever have become associated with ideas of sadness.

I wonder how it is that so cheerful-looking a tree as the willow should ever have become associated with ideas of sadness.

I wonder how it is that so cheerful-looking a tree as the willow should ever have become associated with ideas of sadness.

I wonder how it is that so cheerful-looking a tree as the willow should ever have become associated with ideas of sadness.
