Famous quotes containing the words planting and/or ivy:
“In the planting of the seeds of most trees, the best gardeners do no more than follow Nature, though they may not know it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more,
Ye myrtles brown, with ivy never-sere,
I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude,
And with forc’d fingers rude
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.
Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear
Compels me to disturb your season due:
For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
