Sunken Garden

Famous quotes containing the words sunken and/or garden:

    And ladies with their nails prepared for tea
    And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
    And old men vacant of propriety
    Have faintly rung a next-door neighbor’s bell.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    My garden is run wild!
    Where shall I plant anew—
    For my bed, that once was covered with thyme,
    Is all overrun with rue?
    Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)
