Famous quotes containing the word grows:
“Some departure from the norm
Will occur as time grows more open about it.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Absence! My heart grows tense
as though a harpoon were sparring for the kill.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Now I am terrified at the Earth, it is that calm and patient,
It grows such sweet things out of such corruptions,
It turns harmless and stainless on its axis, with such endless
successions of diseas’d corpses,
It distills such exquisite winds out of such infused fetor,
It renews with such unwitting looks its prodigal, annual, sumptuous
crops,
It gives such divine materials to men, and accepts such leavings
from them at last.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
