Famous quotes containing the word stalk:
“Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields
My brother’s sons are gathering stalk and root,
Small wonder then my children glean in fields
They have not sown, and feed on bitter fruit.”
—Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
“The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
““The stalk is withered dry, my love,
So will our hearts decay;
So make yourself content, my love,
Till God calls you away.””
—Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 25–28)
