Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or fragment:
“We plunge
O dark river!
towards each other
into that element
a deep fall,
the eyes closing as if forever....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
