Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or fragment:
“Direct me gods, whose changes are all holy,
To where it flickers deep in grass, the moly:”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
“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)
