Thousand Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or leaves:

“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Its bed is left a faded paper sheet
Of dead leaves stuck together by the heat
A brook to none but who remember long.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
