Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“Listen. The minstrels sing
In the departed villages. The nightingale,
Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.”

its roots are firm,
and its branches are in heaven;
it gives its produce every season
by the leave of its Lord.”
