In felling a tree we should cut into the trunk of it to the very heart, and then leave it standing so that the sap may drain out drop by drop throughout the whole of it. ...Then and not till then, the tree being drained dry and the sap no longer dripping, let it be felled and it will be in the highest state of usefulness.

 

Vitruvius

 

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.

 

Gerard Manley Hopkins

 

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

 

You gave your body to the lonely,
They took your clothes.
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your ghost.
To be alone with me.
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree.
I've never met a man who loved me.

 

Sufjan Stevens
