Famous quotes containing the words flowering and/or tree:
“And the angel in the gate, the flowering plum,
Dances like Italy, imagining red.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
