dewdrop quotes

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrop are waiting for thee.

- Stephen Collins Foster
  'Beautiful Dreamer'.

Stop and consider! life is but a day; A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way From a tree's summit; a poor Indian's sleep While his boat hastens to the monstrous steep Of Montmorenci.

-John Keats
  'Sleep and Poetry', l.85^9.

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining togetheras one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

-John Muir
Travels in  Alaska, ch.1,'The Puget Sound and British Columbia' (published1915).
