"Suddenly each saw the other putting forth leaves. Their skin started to turn into tree bark. They embraced each other and cried, "Farewell!" Baucis was turned into a linden tree and Philemon into an oak, two different but beautiful trees intertwined with one another."--Ovid, in a Gail Godwin retelling of Philemon and Baucis
