Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Having interr’d her Infant-birth,
The watry ground that late did mourn,
Was strew’d with flow’rs for the return
Of the wish’d Bridegroom of the earth.”
—Edward Herbert (1583–1648)
“Every act of the man inscribes itself in the memories of his fellows, and in his own manners and face. The air is full of sounds; the sky, of tokens; the ground is all memoranda and signatures; and every object covered over with hints, which speak to the intelligent.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
