What is dried?

Famous quotes containing the word dried:

    When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winter ... decent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Our dried voices, when
    We whisper together
    Are quiet and meaningless
    As wind in dry grass
    Or rats’ feet over broken glass
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered
    crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be- toothless mouth of
    sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire
    spiderweb,
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
