All Flesh Is Grass

All Flesh Is Grass

All Flesh is Grass is a much-quoted phrase from the Old Testament in Isaiah 40:6. The phrase is interpreted to mean that human life is transitory. It has been used as the title for various works, including:

* a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti
* a novel by American science fiction writer Clifford D. Simak
* a book on agriculture by American author Gene Logsdon
* an album by Norwegian dark metal band Madder Mortem

A very similar phrase also occurs in 1 Peter 1:24.
