Famous quotes containing the words leaf and/or spot:
“Hast ou fashioned so airy a mood
To draw up leaf from the root?
Hast ou found a cloud so light
As seemed neither mist nor shade?”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
“Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.”
—John Cam Hobhouse (17861869)
