Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or roots:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallowthe easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots dont reach ground waterwill dry up and blow away.”
