Gardens

Famous quotes containing the word gardens:

“Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
It is I who made the glass out of stone,
And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.”
—Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)

“The devout have laid out gardens in the desert.”
—Robert Duncan (b. 1919)

And fenced their gardens with the Redman’s bones;”
