Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or spices:
“I have hardly begun to live on Staten Island yet; but, like the man who, when forbidden to tread on English ground, carried Scottish ground in his boots, I carry Concord ground in my boots and in my hat,and am I not made of Concord dust? I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“And silence her six
And mix
Her spices and core
And slice her apples, and find her four.
Continuing her part
Of the worlds business.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
