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.

    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)

    This wild night, gathering the washing as if it were flowers
    animal vines twisting over the line and
    slapping my face lightly, soundless merriment
    in the gesticulations of shirtsleeves ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
