Sunken Garden

Famous quotes containing the words sunken and/or garden:

    Turn your eyes to the immoderate past,
    Turn to the inscrutable infantry rising
    Demons out of the earth—they will not last.
    Stonewall, Stonewall, and the sunken fields of hemp,
    Shiloh, Antietam, Malvern Hill, Bull Run.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A garden is like those pernicious machineries we read of, every month, in the newspapers, which catch a man’s coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
