Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    Look. And the dancers move
    On the departed, snow bushed green, wanton in moon light
    As a dust of pigeons. Exulting, the grave hooved
    Horses, centaur dead, turn and tread the drenched white
    Paddocks in the farms of birds. The dead oak walks for love.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    If the national security is involved, anything goes. There are no rules. There are people so lacking in roots about what is proper and what is improper that they don’t know there’s anything wrong in breaking into the headquarters of the opposition party.
    Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900–1980)
