Planet Moving

Famous quotes containing the words planet and/or moving:

    Spring is strong and virtuous,
    Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
    Quickening underneath the mould
    Grains beyond the price of gold.
    So deep and large her bounties are,
    That one broad, long midsummer day
    Shall to the planet overpay
    The ravage of a year of war.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Light-lashed, self-righteous, above moving snouts,
    the pigs’ eyes followed him, a cheerful stare,
    even to the sow that always ate her young—
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
