Famous quotes containing the word grew:
“A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sweetheart, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Paris came to Ida.
He grew to slim height
Among the silver-hoofed beasts.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
