Groves Met

Famous quotes containing the words groves and/or met:

    “The word unto the prophet spoken
    Was writ on tables yet unbroken;
    The word by seers or sibyls told,
    In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,
    Still floats upon the morning wind,
    Still whispers to the willing mind.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “From time to time we met a priest in the streets, for they are distinguished by their dress, like the civil police. Like clergymen generally, with or without the gown, they made on us the impression of effeminacy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
