Famous quotes containing the word leaves:

    ““... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
    Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
    And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
    And says their names, and leaves them where they are.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Separation’s fire
    can be borne
    when there’s a knot of hope,
    but Mother,
    when my love leaves home
    and stays in the same village,
    it’s far worse than death.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Parting is a trailing streamer,
    Lingering like leaves in autumn....”
