Henry Abbey Quotes

• The artist labors while he may, But finds at best too brief the day; And, tho' his works outlast the time And nation that they make sublime, He feels and sees that Nature knows Nothing of time in what she does, But has a leisure infinite Wherein to do her work aright.

  Plantamos el asta para la bandera de nuestro país;
  Plantamos la sombra libre del sol ardiente,
  Plantamos todo esto cuando plantamos un árbol.
