Famous quotes containing the word lichens:
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“so for your arrogance
and your ruthlessness
I am swept back
where dead lichens drip
dead cinders upon moss of ash....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
