My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,
Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
All felled, felled, are all felled;
Of a fresh and following folded rank
Not spared, not one
That dandled a sandalled
Shadow that swam or sank
On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.
--
Binsey Poplars, lines 1-8Gerard Manley Hopkins

God gave us these things to use. After the last tree is felled, Christ will come back.
James G. Watt
FATE slew him, but he did not drop;
She felled—he did not fall—
Impaled him on her fiercest stakes—
He neutralized them all.Emily Dickinson
When a tree, a natural product, is felled, is society put into possession of no greater produce than that of the mere labour of the woodman?
Jean-Baptiste Say
My apologies to the felled tree for the table's four legs.
My apologies to great questions for small answers.Wislawa Szymborska
The hand that signed the paper felled a city;
Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath,
Doubled the globe of dead and halved a country;
These five kings did a king to death.Dylan Thomas
