King George III spoke to trees and gave them names:

King George III fought a rather silly war with His American Subjects, which He lost.

~~

For his perceived follies as a Monarch, King George III spent the last 20 years or so of a 60 year reign, in almost total sequestration, largely stripped of His Authorities.

~~

Her Majesty’s Son and Heir, The Crown Prince Charles, speaks to trees and gives them names.

 

I speak to trees and give them names.

I like trees.

~~

I find trees a great comfort.

~~

Trees listen attentively, despite one’s rambling on, for hours.

~~

Trees are polite.

~~

Trees are true and trusty friends.

~~

Trees are shady, true.

~~

But trees are not shady in the sense that people are shady.

~~

The affections of trees are ever constant.

~~

Trees never disappoint.

~~

I hope that, what authorities I have, are not later stripped of me, for my enjoying so, the company of trees and for my speaking to them, and giving them names.

~~

But, if it came to it, if I had to choose between my associations with people or with my trees:

~~

I would surely chose my trees.

~~

I like my trees.

~~

Very much, indeed.
