Cultivated Plant

Famous quotes containing the words cultivated and/or plant:

“Popular art is normally decried as vulgar by the cultivated people of its time; then it loses favor with its original audience as a new generation grows up; then it begins to merge into the softer lighting of “quaint,” and cultivated people become interested in it, and finally it begins to take on the archaic dignity of the primitive.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

“I please
To plant some more dew-wet anemones
That they may weep.”
—Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
