Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    “I did not know that thou wert dead before;
    I did not feel the grief I did sustain;
    The greater stroke astonisheth the more;
    Astonishment takes from us sense of pain.
    I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
    And now begin to weep when they have done.”
    —Henry Constable (1562–1613)

    “A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves—in full bloom or as they fade away.”
    —Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
