Wild Plant

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or plant:

    And graven with diamonds in letters plain
    There is written her fair neck round about:

    And wild for to hold though I seem tame.”
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    What do we plant when we plant the tree?
    We plant the ship that will cross the sea,
    We plant the mast to carry the sails,
    We plant the planks to withstand the gales—
    The keel, the keelson, and beam and knee—
    We plant the ship when we plant the tree.
    Henry Abbey (1842–1911)
