Famous quotes containing the words small and/or species:

Of immortality,
Your cries and hungers document
Our bodily decay.”

“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
