Famous quotes containing the words jute and/or fibres:

“O Lord! What wonderful power you have!
We sowed jute and millet sprouted.”

“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
