Adullam Grove Nature

Famous quotes containing the words grove and/or nature:

    Tomorrow let loveless, let lover tomorrow make love;
    O spring, singing spring, spring of the world renew!
    In spring lovers consent and the birds marry
    When the grove receives in her hair the nuptial dew.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
