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.

    I leaf through books, I do not study them. What I retain of them is something I no longer recognize as anyone else’s.
