Famous quotes containing the word leaf:

    “Black creeps from root to root,
    each leaf
    cuts another leaf on the grass,
    shadow seeks shadow,
    then both leaf
    and leaf-shadow are lost.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Then leaf subsides to leaf.
    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day.
    Nothing gold can stay.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
