Leaf Clusters Worn

Famous quotes containing the words leaf, clusters and/or worn:

“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Where we such clusters had,
As made us nobly wild, not mad;
And yet each verse of thine
Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
