Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or dyer:

    That which endures is not one or another association of living forms, but the process of which the cosmos is the product, and of which these are among the transitory expressions.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)
