Ferns Quotes - Page 2

• El primer día de mayo, los campesinos se levantan temprano y están tan ocupados como abejas a punto de enjambrar. Es el día de la migración, bho baile gu beinn (del pueblo al páramo), del hogar de invierno al refugio de verano. Ha llegado el verano de su alegría, el verano del sheiling, la canción, la pipa y el baile, cuando la gente asciende por la colina hasta las bothies agrupadas, con vistas al mar distante desde entre los helechos frondosos y el brezo fragante, donde el vecino se encuentra con el vecino, y el amante con el amante.

• The grey nurse resumed her knitting as Peter Walsh, on the hot seat beside her, began snoring. In her grey dress, moving her hands indefatigably yet quietly, she seemed like the champion of the rights of sleepers, like one of those spectral presences which rise in twilight in woods made of sky and branches. The solitary traveler, haunter of lanes, disturber of ferns, and devastator of hemlock plants, looking up, suddenly sees the giant figure at the end of the ride.

• The evidence from both approaches, statistical and experimental, does not appear sufficiently significant to me to warrant forsaking the pleasure of smoking. As a matter of fact, if the investigations had been pointed toward some material that I thoroughly dislike, such as parsnips, I still would not feel that evidence of the type presented constituted a reasonable excuse for eliminating the things from my diet. I will still continue to smoke, and if the tobacco companies cease manufacturing their product, I will revert to sweet fern and grape leaves.

• News flash, Fern Taylor!" Ambrose barked, slamming his hand against the dashboard, making Fern jump. "Everything has changed! You are beautiful, I am hideous, you don't need me anymore, but I sure as hell need you!""You act like beauty is the only thing that makes us worthy of love," Fern snapped. "I didn't just l-love you because you were beautiful!" She'd said the L word, right out loud, though she'd tripped over it.

• So, if people didn’t settle down to take up farming, why then did they embark on this entirely new way of living? We have no idea – or actually, we have lots of ideas, but we don’t know if any of them are right. According to Felipe Fernández-Armesto, at least thirty-eight theories have been put forward to explain why people took to living in communities: that they were driven to it by climatic change, or by a wish to stay near their dead, or by a powerful desire to brew and drink beer, which could only be indulged by staying in one place.

• Cada lugar tiene su propia mente, su propia psique. Roble, madroño, abeto de Douglas, halcón de cola roja, serpentina en la arenisca, una cierta escala en la topografía, lluvias torrenciales en invierno, niebla en la costa en verano, salmones remontando los arroyos: todo ello conforma un estado mental particular, una inteligencia específica del lugar compartida por todos los humanos que lo habitan, pero también por los coyotes que ladran en esos valles, por los linces y los helechos y las arañas, por todos los seres que viven y se abren camino en esa zona. Cada lugar su propia psique. Cada cielo su propio azul.

• En nuestro jardín cotidiano crecen el romero, el enebro, los helechos y los plátanos, perfectamente tangibles y visibles. Para estas plantas que mantienen con nosotros una relación ilusoria, que en nada altera su existencialidad, nosotros no somos más que un acontecimiento, un accidente, y nuestra presencia, que parece tan sólida, cargada de gravedad, no es para ellas más que un vacío momentáneo en movimiento por el aire. La realidad es una cualidad que les pertenece, y nosotros no podemos ejercer ningún derecho sobre ella.

• Mi pelota está en un manojo de helechos, Un lugar alegre para estar; Un hombre enojado está cerca de popa- Él agita su club en mí. Bueno, déjalo que agite-el cielo es azul; Vamos, vieja bola, somos sólo dos-Podemos caer en tres, O nueve-o diez-o veinticinco-No importa; estar vivo, Es lo suficientemente bueno para mí.

• I dreamed a place where I have come to dwell Cold Mountain says it all Monkeys scream, the valley fog is cold My door blends with the color of the peaks I gather leaves and thatch a hut among the pines Dig a pond and lead a trickle from the brook Long ago I left the world behind Eating ferns I pass the years in peace

• Ambas and Bobia Islands are perfect gems of beauty. Mondoleh I cannot say I admire. It always looks to me exactly like one of those flower-stands full of ferns and plants - the sort you come across in drawing rooms at home, with wire-work legs. I do not mean that Mondoleh has wire-work legs under water, but it looks as if it might have.

• Fue a Hofmeister, trabajando como un hombre joven, un aficionado y entusiasta, en las primeras horas de la mañana de los meses de verano, antes de los negocios, en Leipzig en los años anteriores a 1851, cuando apareció por primera vez la visión de un tipo común de Ciclo Vital, pasando por Musgos y Helechos hasta Gimnospermas y Plantas con Flor, uniendo toda la serie en un esquema de reproducción e historia vital.

• It had rained on some vivid green ferns in Maine and it was quite beautiful. I was moving the camera slightly and studying the ground glass. Looking at those 20 square inches, trying to find out just what were the right elements to include.

• Of course, when we got home, we found that Dagda had peed on my down comforter. He had also eaten part of Mom's maidenhair fern and barfed it up on the carpet. Then he had apparently worked himself into a frenzy sharpening his ting by amazingly effective claws on the armrest of my dad's favorite chair. Now he was asleep on a pillow, curled up like a fuzzy little snail. "God, he's so cute," I said, shaking my head.
