Famous quotes containing the words willow and/or cultivation:

Of the dismal yew;
Maidens, willow branches bear;
Say I died true.”

“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
