Famous quotes containing the words lowell and/or plant:

    Here tantrums thrash to a whale’s rage.
    This is the pot-hole of old age.
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
