Gathering

Famous quotes containing the word gathering:

    Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed...
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 25:24,25.

    The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    But gathering as we stray, a sense
    Of Life, so lovely and intense,
    It lingers when we wander hence,

    That those who follow feel behind
    Their backs, when all before is blind,
    Our joy, a rampart to the mind.
    John Masefield (1878–1967)
