South Blooming Grove

Famous quotes containing the words south, blooming and/or grove:

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“‘Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

“He was burned, so he ran into the bamboo grove, but the grove caught fire.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
