Mystical Seed

Famous quotes containing the words mystical and/or seed:

    When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room,
    How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
    Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
    In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
    Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The first month of his absence
    I was numb and sick
    And where he’d left his promise
    Life did not turn or kick.
    The seed, the seed of love was sick.
    Alun Lewis (1915–1944)
