Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    Only this shimmeriness is the real living. The shape is a dead crust. The shimmer is inside really.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
