Tree

The very shapes of the trees were like frozen screams.

~ Susanna Clarke

What an amazing quote. What if the trees were actually screaming, though. Then it wouldn't be so beautifully descriptive as much as it would be stating the obvious. Or painfully accurate.

Do you know the song "I Talk to the Trees?" If so, you are either old or a huge fan of musical theater.

I bet you thought that was going to go a different direction, huh?
