Groves Met

Famous quotes containing the words groves and/or met:

    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.
    One accent of the Holy Ghost
    The heedless world hath never lost.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I met a little Elf-man, once,
    Down where the lilies blow.
    I asked him why he was so small
    And why he didn’t grow.
    John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922)
