Dried

Famous quotes containing the word dried:

    One criticizes the English for carrying their teapots wherever they go, even lugging them up Mount Etna. But doesn’t every nation have its teapot, in which, even when traveling, it brews the dried bundles of herbs brought from home?
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Some spring the white man came, built him a house, and made a clearing here, letting in the sun, dried up a farm, piled up the old gray stones in fences, cut down the pines around his dwelling, planted orchard seeds brought from the old country, and persuaded the civil apple-tree to blossom next to the wild pine and the juniper, shedding its perfume in the wilderness. Their old stocks still remain.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Our dried voices, when
    We whisper together
    Are quiet and meaningless
    As wind in dry grass
    Or rats’ feet over broken glass
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
