Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:

“And cried, ‘Before I am old
I shall have written him one
Poem maybe as cold
And passionate as the dawn.’”

A Bible-leaved of all the written woods
Strip to this tree: a rocking alphabet,
Genesis in the root, the scarecrow word,
And one light’s language in the book of trees.”
