Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones!
Had I your tongues and eyes, Id use them so
That heavens vault should crack. Shes gone forever.
I know when one is dead and when one lives;
Shes dead as earth.”

Tighten, the earth is rigid, waitshe is waiting
And suddenly, and all at once, the rain!”
