John Hersey Quotes

Over Everything - Up Through The Wreckage Of The City, In Gutters, Along The Riverbanks, Tangled Among Tiles And Tin Roofing, Climbing On Charred Tree Trunks - Was A Blanket Of Fresh, Vivid, Lush, Optimistic Green; The Verdancy Rose Even From The Foundations Of Ruined Houses. Weeds Already Hid The Ashes, And Wild Flowers Were In Bloom Among The City's Bones. The Bomb Had Not Only Left The Underground Organs Of The Plants Intact; It Had Stimulated Them.
