Famous quotes containing the word grew:

    “The very timber and boards and shingles of which our houses are made grew but yesterday in a wilderness where the Indian still hunts and the moose runs wild.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
    That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
    Along uncertainty and gales of shame
    Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
    I dare not think alive: only a name
    That chimes occasionally, as a belief
    Long since embedded in the static past.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Though pedantry denies,
    It’s plain the Bible means
    That Solomon grew wise
    While talking with his queens....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
