Soft Combining

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or combining:

    I walked abroad in a snowy day;
    I asked the soft snow with me to play;
    She played and she melted in all her prime,
    And the winter called it a dreadful crime.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    The wilderness experiences a suddent rise of all her streams and lakes. She feels ten thousand vermin gnawing at the base of her noblest trees. Many combining drag them off, jarring over the roots of the survivors, and tumble them into the nearest stream, till, the fairest having fallen, they scamper off to ransack some new wilderness, and all is still again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
