Default Excerpt from Forever by Pete Hamill


Surely, she says, roses must whisper in words that are different from those of chrysanthemums. But trees, he says, are like buildings, rooted in earth, rising against blank skies. Trees provide shelter, they way buildings do. Some trees are brilliant with colors, he says, and others stark with abandonment and old age.
