"SO, CURTAINED BY A SINGING PINE, 
ITS MURMURING VOICE SHALL BLEND WITH MINE, 
TILL, LOST IN DREAMS, MY FALTERING LAY 
IN SWEETER MUSIC DIES AWAY.” 
Oliver IVendell Holmes 
This magnificent specimen of Pinus Strobus stands on 
an estate formerly owned by Dr. Holmes at Pittsfield, 
Massachusetts, and is known as The Oliver Wendell 
Holmes Pine. Quite apart from its decorative quality 
and the reassuring sense of steadfastness it conveys, 
men love the Pine for its voice, a characteristic evi- 
dently appreciated by Dr. Holmes
