    The bud of the apple is desire, the down-falling gold,
    The catbird’s gobble in the morning half-awake

    And I taste at the root of the tongue the unreal of what is real.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    ...there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die, and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they?
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 14:7-10.

    David Lodge (b. 1935)

    The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey,
    The fields are fragrant and the woods are green.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
