Bent Grass

Famous quotes containing the words bent and/or grass:

“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)

“long long
The snow has possessed the mountains.”
—Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 1–2)
