Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or core:
“It snowed in spring on earth so dry and warm
The flakes could find no landing place to form.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
