IN what book are: men compared to rocks and trees?

Question

I am wondering in what book/novel:

men compared to rocks and trees

Yes I was put on a challenge to figure this out, and I can't, so I'm asking the YA community for a little help.

Answer 1

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen compares men to rocks and mountains. The exact quote is "What are men to rocks and mountains?" It is said by Elizabeth Bennet. However, I don't know about rocks and trees. Sorry!

Answer 2

The Bible compares them to trees:

MARK.8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Answer 3

i am not sure, but i think it's the Bible

Answer 4

After a few searches, I found several references where the Torah compares man to a tree...  

There is also reference to the River of Eden and the tree of life....?

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but when I google "Torah compares man to tree", there is some more relavent results.
