American - Philosopher

The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Imagine a multidimensiona l spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image.

Alan Watts

Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The difference between you and her (whom I to you did once prefer) Is clear enough to settle: She like a diamond shone, but you Shine like an early drop of dew Poised on a red rose petal. The dew-drop carries in its eye Mountain and forest, sea and sky, With every change of weather; Contrariwise, a diamond splits The prospect into idle bits That none can piece together.

Robert Graves

Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

On the Death of his Child Dew Evaporates And all our world is dew...so dear, So fresh, so fleeting

Kobayashi Issa

See how the Orient dew, Shed from the bosom of the morn Into the blowing roses, Yet careless of its mansion new; For the clear region where 'twas born Round in its self encloses: And in its little globes extent, Frames as it can its native element.

Andrew Marvell

If it's a drop of dew, it will dissolve.

Martha Ronk

And every dew-drop paints a bow.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

White dew- one drop on each thorn

Yosa Buson

Man's life is like a drop of dew on a leaf.

Socrates

What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is a dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens in cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself, and the drops run off. God rains His goodness and mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them.

Henry Ward Beecher

People will never understand the patience a photographer requires to make a great photograph, all they see is the end result. I can stand in front of a leaf with a dew drop, or a rain drop, and stay there for ages just waiting for the right moment. Sure, people think I'm crazy, but who cares? I see more than they do!

Alfred Eisenstaedt

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing -to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The least flower, with brimming cup, may stand and share its dew drop with another near.
