Bowers

Famous quotes containing the word bowers:

“How much better when the whole land is a garden, and the people have grown up in the bowers of a paradise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Sometimes outside beneath a bombers’ moon
You stood alone to watch the searchlights trace
Their careful webs against the boding sky,”
—Edgar Bowers (b. 1924)

“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
