Genesis Planet

Famous quotes containing the words genesis and/or planet:

    “Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It was not important that they survive.
    What mattered was that they should bear
    Some lineament or character,
    Some affluence, if only half-perceived,
    In the poverty of their words,
    Of the planet of which they were part.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
