Famous quotes containing the words planted and/or grape:

“Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children’s hands, in front-yard plots,—now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;Mthe last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Victory won’t come

to me unless I go
to it; a grape tendril
ties a knot in knots till

knotted thirty times,—”
