Daughter Species

Famous quotes containing the words daughter and/or species:

    In his time, this one had little to speak of,
    The softest word went gurrituck in his skull.
    For him the moon was always in Scandinavia
    And his daughter was a foreign thing.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
