Famous quotes containing the words grove and/or gardens:
“Bees don’t swarm in a mango grove for nothing.
Where can you see a wisp of smoke
without a fire?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
—Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
