Summary

This quote, often attributed to Ogden Nash, suggests that the natural beauty of trees surpasses that of man-made billboards. It humorously reflects on the irony that billboards obstruct our view of trees and nature, implying that without their disappearance, we may never truly appreciate the splendor of trees. The quote serves as a commentary on the dominance of commercialization and technology at the expense of nature's aesthetic appeal.
