Plant Galls

Famous quotes containing the words plant and/or galls:

    You have waited, you always wait, you dumb, beautiful ministers,
    We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate
    hence-forward,
    Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves
    from us,
    We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us,
    We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also,
    You furnish your parts, toward eternity,
    Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The prosperous and beautiful
    To me seem not to wear
    The yoke of conscience masterful,
    Which galls me everywhere.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
