Famous quotes containing the words mushroom and/or flakes:
“We breathe an ill wind,
nevertheless our kind
in mushroom multitudes
jostles for elbow-room
moonwards ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
