The bud is on the bough again,
The leaf is on the tree.

If you gaze at a single leaf on a single tree, you do not see the other leaves. If you face the tree with no intention and do not fix your eyes on a single leaf, then you will see all the many leaves. If your mind is preoccupied with one leaf, you do not see the others, if you do not set your attention on one; you will see hundreds and thousands of leaves.
Yagyu Munenori
One only leaf upon the top of a tree - the sole remaining leaf - danced round and round like a rag blown by the wind.
Dorothy Wordsworth
There was one picture in particular which bothered him. It had begun with a leaf caught in the wind, and it became a tree; and the tree grew, sending out innumerable branches, and thrusting out the most fantastic roots.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I 'll protect it now.George Pope Morris
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still.
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.Robert Frost
