Leaf Shutters

Famous quotes containing the words leaf and/or shutters:

    “Black creeps from root to root,
    each leaf
    cuts another leaf on the grass,
    shadow seeks shadow,
    then both leaf
    and leaf-shadow are lost.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “The wind attendant on the solstices
    Blows on the shutters of the metropoles,
    Stirring no poet in his sleep, and tolls
    The trand ideas of the villages.
    The malady of the quotidian. . . .”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
