Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or leaf:
“Ere long, not only these banks, but on every hill and plain and in every hollow, the frost comes out of the ground like a dormant quadruped from its burrow, and seeks the sea with music, or migrates to other climes in clouds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“With fairest flowers
Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
Ill sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
The flower thats like thy face, pale primrose, nor
The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
Outsweetened not thy breath.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
