Famous quotes containing the words owen and/or moss:
“I tried to peg out soldierly,—no use!
One dies of war like any old disease.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
“I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark
green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone
there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
