Famous quotes containing the words man, fell and/or earth:

    Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
