Long Grove Valley

Famous quotes containing the words long, grove and/or valley:

    Anguish devours the mind, and furious rage, and hope
    than which the heart can bear no heavier burden, when
    it is long deferred.
    Publius Papinius Statius (c. 40–96)

    Worry and brown desk
    Stain it by infusion. There aren’t enough tags at the end,
    And the grove is blind, blossoming, but we are too porous to hear it.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
