Root Finding

Famous quotes containing the words root and/or finding:

    “Black creeps from root to root,
    each leaf
    cuts another leaf on the grass,
    shadow seeks shadow,
    then both leaf
    and leaf-shadow are lost.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Well, it is a good experience, to divest oneself of some tested ideals, some old standbys,
    And even finding nothing to put in their place is a good experience,
    Preparing one, as it does, for the consternation that is to come.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
