Living Land Plants

Famous quotes containing the words living, land and/or plants:

    our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
    day and night,
    nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
    nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
    the deep intelligence living at peace would have.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The impersonal insensitive friendliness which takes the place of ceremony in that land of waifs and strays.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    The holly and the ivy
    Are plants that are well known
    Of all the trees that grow in the woods
    The holly bears the crown.
    —Unknown. The Holly and the Ivy (l. 1–4)
