Dead Organic Matter

Famous quotes containing the words dead, organic and/or matter:

    “There are flood and drouth
    Over the eyes and in the mouth,
    Dead water and dead sand
    Contending for the upper hand.
    The parched eviscerate soil
    Gapes at the vanity of toil,
    Laughs without mirth.
    This is the death of the earth.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “And what if all of animated nature
    Be but organic Harps diversely framed,
    That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
    Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
    At once the Soul of each, and God of all?”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “The universe may or may not be very immense.
    As a matter of fact there are times when I am apt
    To feel it close in tight against my sense
    Like a caul in which I was born and still am wrapped.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
