Nature has thrown a veil of modest beauty over maidenhood and moss-roses.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Image
Climb the steep Cold Mountain way Roads to Cold Mountain are many and never ending The valleys are long and deep, the peaks piled high The streams are wide, the grass is thick The moss is slippery though there is no rain The pines sigh though there is no wind Who can escape the snares of the world And come to sit with me among the white clouds?
Hanshan
Image
the skin of moss / holds the footprints of / star-footed birds.
Nancy Willard

A rolling stone can gather no moss.
Publilius Syrus
Image
The nest may be constructed, so far as the sticks go, by the male bird but only the hen can line it with moss and down!
Frances Power Cobbe

I am delighted, one more time, by the daring of my species and the audacity of our flying machines. There is poetry and music in our technology, a beauty as touching as that of eagle, moss campion, raven or yonder limestone boulder shining under the Arctic sun.
Edward Abbey
Image
The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The stone that is rolling can gather no mossFor master and servant oft changing is loss.
Thomas Tusser
Image
A rolling stone gathers no moss and therefore will not be derided as a moss-back. Roll as much as possible.
George Ade
Image
It has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I would add that sometimes a rolling stone also gathers no verifiable facts or even the tiniest morsels of journalistic integrity.
Ed Helms
Image
Sap which mounts, and flowers which thrust, Your childhood is a bower: Let my fingers wander in the moss Where glows the rosebud Let me among the clean grasses Drink the drops of dew Which sprinkle the tender flower
Paul Verlaine
Image
Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road, The secret scarcely lisping of thy beautiful abode Among the pines and mosses of yonder shadowy height, Where thou dost sparkle into song, and fill the woods with light.
Lucy Larcom
Image
On the king's gate the moss grew grayThe king came not. They called him deadAnd made his eldest son one daySlave in his father's stead.
Helen Hunt Jackson

I'm a big fan of Kate Moss's style - no-one nails boho meets hippy chic like she does.
Kristin Cavallari

I got a burlap sack, put a brick in the middle, and filled it with rags, corncobs, some Spanish moss, and sand. I hung that sack off the branch of an oak tree. I'd wrap my hands with a necktie of my daddy's and punch at it. My mom gave me an hour a day. My brothers and sisters said, Nah. I said, You'll see.
Joe Frazier

Disaster beats stasis. Better a rolling stone than a moss-covered rock.

I know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.

Gisele Bundchen, along w Kate Moss, is a phenomenon. I wish models knew they have to have a personality
Anna Wintour

If I had been around when Rubens was painting, I would have been revered as a fabulous model. Kate Moss? Well, she would have been the paintbrush.
Dawn French

The jungle looked back at them with a vastness, a breathing moss-and-leaf silence, with a billion diamond and emerald insect eyes.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The GOP of old has grown old and moss covered.
Rand Paul

If it was true that moss did not have roots, and maternal love could grow spontaneously, as if from nothing, perhaps I had been wrong to believe myself unfit to raise my daughter. Perhaps the unattached, the unwanted, the unloved, could grow to give love as lushly as anyone else.

I think there is a total equality for me between painting a literary figure or Kate Moss or my Mum or a dog or a bird. To me, they are all absolutely equal.
