Famous quotes containing the words scrub, nature and/or reserve:

    “I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
    Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;

    Till the stars are beginning to blink and peep;
    And the young lie long and dream in their bed....”

    “That God has laid His fingers on the sky,
    That from those fingers glittering summer runs
    Upon the dancer by the dreamless wave.

    Dream, until God burn Nature with a kiss?
    The man has found no comfort in the grave.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Her face had the seamed reserve of the old in this country [Japan]. It was a neighborhood poignantly rich in old ladies.”
