Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“The dead have been awakenedshall I sleep?
The worlds at war with tyrantsshall I crouch?
The harvests ripeand shall I pause to reap?
I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
Its echo in my heart.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“A good word is as a good tree
its roots are firm,
and its branches are in heaven;
it gives its produce every season
by the leave of its Lord.”
