Additional quotes by Pietro Metastasio

That water which falls from some Alpine height is dashed, broken, and will murmur loudly, but grows limpid by its fall.

The canker which the trunk conceals is revealed by the leaves, the fruit, or the flower.

Sai, che piegar si vede
Il docile arboscello,
Che vince allor che cede
Dei turbini al furor.

D'ogni pianta palesa l'aspetto Il difetto, che il tronco nasconde Per le fronde, dal frutto, o dal fior. - Pietro Metastasio
