Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    I saw
    without words within me, saw
    as if my eyes
    had grown bigger and knew
    how to look without
    being told what it was they saw.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    She has not grown uncivil
    As narrow natures would
    And called the pleasures evil
    Happier days thought good....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
