Famous quotes containing the word covered:
“Our own country furnishes antiquities as ancient and durable, and as useful, as any; rocks at least as well covered with lichens, and a soil which, if it is virgin, is but virgin mould, the very dust of nature. What if we cannot read Rome or Greece, Etruria or Carthage, or Egypt or Babylon, on these; are our cliffs bare?”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“We talked between the Rooms
Until the Moss had reached our lips
And covered upour names”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“While the bodys life, deep as a covered well,
Instinctive as the wind, busy as May,
Burns out a secret passageway to hell.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
