And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.””
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:31,32.

—Shirley MacLaine (b. 1934)
