Famous quotes containing the words grove, nature and/or reserve:
“Tomorrow let loveless, let lover tomorrow make love;

When the grove receives in her hair the nuptial dew.”

“In the wildest nature, there is not only the material of the most cultivated life, and a sort of anticipation of the last result, but a greater refinement already than is ever attained by man.... Nature is prepared to welcome into her scenery the finest work of human art, for she is herself an art so cunning that the artist never appears in his work.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I do not know what right I have to so much happiness, but rather hold it in reserve till the time of my desert.”
