The Botanic Garden. Part 1: The Economy of Vegetation QUOTES

1 " Till o'er the wreck, emerging from the storm, Immortal Nature lifts her changeful form: Mounts from her funeral pyre on wings of flame, And soars and shines, another and the same. "

― Erasmus Darwin , The Botanic Garden. Part 1: The Economy of Vegetation

2 " The mass starts into a million suns;
Earths round each sun with quick explosions burst,
And second planets issue from the first.
[The first concept of a 'big bang' theory of the universe.] "

― Erasmus Darwin , The Botanic Garden. Part 1: The Economy of Vegetation

3 " Soon shall thy arm, UNCONQUER'D STEAM! afar
Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car;
Or on wide-waving wings expanded bear
The flying-chariot through the fields of air. "

― Erasmus Darwin , The Botanic Garden. Part 1: The Economy of Vegetation
