“I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.”
Hamlin Garland
“We're constantly developing new poplar trees to be planted.”
Jeff Nuss
“The poplars are felled, farewell to the shade,/ And the whispering sound of the cool colonnade!”
William Cowper
“Primarily, it's because this is Poplar Bluff, and there isn't anything that remotely comes close [to Hansbrough] as far as national significance.”
Richard Browne
“How gently rock yon poplars high Against the reach of primrose sky With heaven's pale candles stored.”
Jean Ingelow
“Then after [the fire got into the pine trees], it was on.”
Chris Hawks
“They came by and red marked about 18 of my pine trees (for removal), and only one of them I can see is the least bit dangerous, and over half are not even in the right of way. But boy, they just want to take everything. I'm not very happy about that. I told them so when they called to get my permission. They put me down as refusing. I don't know what happens from there.”
Dave Robertson
