“Organic life beneath the shoreless waves Was born and rais’d in Ocean’s pearly caves First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass, Move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass; These, as successive generations bloom, New powers acquire, and larger limbs assume; Whence countless groups of vegetation spring, And breathing realms of fin, and feet and wing.” FirstsMovingFormBornGenerationsGroupsFeetMinutesOceanMassSpringWingsAssumingGlassesWaveBreathingRealmsAcquireUnseenMudCavesLimbsPierceVegetationFinsOrganic Life Author:Erasmus Darwin
“God should be most where man is least: So, where is neither church nor priest, And never rag nor form of creed To clothe the nakedness of need,- Where farmer folk in silence meet,- I turn my bell-unsummoned feet; I lay the critic's glass aside, I tread upon my lettered pride, And, lowest-seated, testify To the oneness of humanity; Confess the universal want, And share whatever Heaven may grant. He findeth not who seeks his own, The soul is lost that's saved alone.” MenWantNeedsShouldMaySoulFormHumanityTurnsLostHeavenChurchSilenceFeetSharePrideUniversalLaysCriticsFolksGlassesSavedOnenessPriestsGrantsFarmersBellsCreedsLowestRagsQuaker Book:Among the Hills, and Other Poems Source: Among the Hills, and Other Poems

“At school I was called Fred, which is my middle name. At that time, Fred was considered to be a bit of a horrible name, so that's why. Otherwise, I was called Titchy because I was little. I was still only about 4ft something when I left school. I grew a foot under glass in my first year as a gardener. It's really quite amazing what sun and manure can do.” YearsFirstsLittlesStillsSchoolNamesLeftBitsCan DoSunFeetMiddleGrewGlassesHorribleGardenerManure Author:Alan Titchmarsh
“Turtles hate heights. They don't even like being a few feet off the ground. It's the main reason they have resisted evolution for so long-fear of heights. Turtle thinking goes thus: Sure, first our scales turn into feathers and the next thing you know we're flying and chirping and perching on trees. We've seen it happen. Thanks, but we're staying right here in the mud where we belong. You're not going to see us flying full-tilt boogie into a sliding glass door.” ThinkingKnowsFirstsLongReasonHappensHateTurnsNextDoorsTreeFeetEvolutionGlassesFlyingScalesThanksHeightStayingMudFeathersTurtlesTiltBoogieFeet Off The Ground Author:Christopher Moore
