Famous quotes containing the word gardens:

    “These are the Gardens of the Desert, these
    The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful,
    And fresh as the young earth, ere man had sinned—”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.”
