Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    Curse of the orchard,
    Blemish on the land’s fair countenance,
    I have grown strong for strength denied, for struggle
    In hostile woods. I keep alive by being the troublesome,
    Indestructible
    Stinkweed of truth.
    Naomi Long Madgett (b. 1923)

    The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    she will not say how there
    must be more to living
    than this brief bright bridge
    of the raucous bed or even
    the slow braille touch of him
    like a heavy god grown light....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
