So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Meanwhile in the forest / In a parliament of trees, The ink will crack and dry all up, But the compass will swing anyways. And we don't need mathematics / And we don't need submarines — Rheostatics, Northern Wish |

The hollow tree’s been strapped together and held up by human means for some time now, and I think it’s time to let nature take its course here. That doesn’t make it any sadder. I’ll miss it.
Stanley Park’s hollow tree gets the axe
Last Updated: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 | 2:19 PM ETOne of Vancouver’s oldest treasures will soon be cut down but its legacy as a tourist attraction will live on.
On Monday evening, the Vancouver Park Board voted to cut down the hollow tree on Park Drive in Stanley Park.
The 13-metre-tall stump is at least 700 years old, but storm damage in recent years has caused its decomposing hollow trunk to tilt dangerously.
