Living Land Plants

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

    I cannot think this creature died
    By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
    Walking the sea so heavily armed;
    Or does it make for death to be
    Oneself a living armoury?
    Andrew Young (1885–1971)

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

    When the
    Marne flowed by the plants nodded
    And above the glistering Gila
    A sunset as beautiful as the Athabasca
    Stammered. The Zambezi chimed. The Oxus
    Flowed somewhere.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
