Famous quotes containing the words lowell and/or plant:

    A very little thing, a little worm,
    Or hourglass-blazoned spider, it is said,
    Can kill a tiger.
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
