Jacques Roumain Quotes
A tree is made to live in peace in the color of day and in friendship with the sun, the wind and the rain.

The dark rising sap makes them groan in the warm afternoons. A tree is a living being that knows the course of the clouds and presses the storms because it is full of birds' nests.
