Dried Leaves

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)

    Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
