Famous quotes containing the words leaf, curl and/or virus:
“With fairest flowers
Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
I’ll sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
The flower that’s like thy face, pale primrose, nor
The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
Outsweetened not thy breath.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“An object among dreams, you sit here with your shoes off
And curl your legs up under you;”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
