Sap

Famous quotes containing the word sap:

    The fascination of what’s difficult
    Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent
    Spontaneous joy and natural content
    Out of my heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    They felt the rush of the sap in the spring, they knew the wave which cannot halt, but every year throws forward the seed to begetting, and, falling back, leaves the unborn on the earth. They knew the intercourse between heaven and earth.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    a dance sacred as the sap in
    the trees,
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
