Landscape Gardener

Famous quotes containing the words landscape and/or gardener:

“The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“Each in their double Eden closed
They fail to see the gardener there
Has planted Error....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
