Famous quotes containing the words dried and/or leaves:
“God went out of me
as if the sea dried up like sandpaper,
as if the sun became a latrine.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“They may bring their fattest cattle and richest fruits to the fair, but they are all eclipsed by the show of men. These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
