Mushroom Body

Famous quotes containing the words mushroom and/or body:

    “We breathe an ill wind,
    nevertheless our kind
    in mushroom multitudes
    jostles for elbow-room
    moonwards ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “but as an Eagle
    His cloudless thunderbolted on thir heads.
    So vertue giv’n for lost,
    Deprest, and overthrown, as seem’d,
    Like that self-begott’n bird
    In the Arabian woods embost,
    That no second knows nor third,
    And lay e’re while a Holocaust,
    From out her ashie womb now teem’d
    Revives, reflourishes, then vigorous most
    When most unactive deem’d,
    And though her body die, her fame survives,
    A secular bird ages of lives.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
