Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“White
Godiva, I unpeel—
Dead hands, dead stringencies.”

“Sprung from the West,
He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
