    It is not growing like a tree
    In bulk, doth make man better be;
    Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
    To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
    A lily of a day
    Is fairer far in May,
    Although it falls and die that night--
    It was the plant and flower of Light.

The tall magnolia towers unshaded.
