Famous quotes containing the words genesis and/or park:
“If only he would not pity us so much,
Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
And uncourageous genesis . . .”

“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
