Abraham Cowley's Quote - I never had any other desire so strong, and so like covetousness,

Quote by Abraham Cowley

I never had any other desire so strong, and so like covetousness,

I never had any other desire so strong, and so like covetousness, as that…. I might be master at last of a small house and a large garden, with very moderate conveniences joined to them, and there dedicate the remainder of my life to the culture of them and the study of nature. – Abraham Cowley
