Famous quotes containing the words root and/or finding:
“The bud of the apple is desire, the down-falling gold,
The catbirds gobble in the morning half-awake
These are real only if I make them so. Whistle
For me, grow green for me and, as you whistle and grow green,
Intangible arrows quiver and stick in the skin
And I taste at the root of the tongue the unreal of what is real.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Lais is now no lover of the glass,
seeing no more the face as once it was,
wishing to see that face and finding this.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
