A sensitive plant in a garden grew, 
And the young winds fed it with silver dew, 
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
And closed them beneath the kisses of night. 

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. -- William Shakespeare
A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
And closed them beneath the kisses of night.
