Famous quotes containing the word blossoms:
“So the soul, that drop, that ray
Of the clear fountain of eternal day,
Could it within the human flower be seen,
Remembering still its former height,
Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
And, recollecting its own light,
Does, in its pure and circling thoughts, express
The greater heaven in an heaven less.”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)
“Fortune, honour, beauty, youth,
Are but blossoms dying;
Wanton pleasures, doting love,
Are but shadows flying.”
—Thomas Campion (15671620)
“Listen, Buster you and your quick-change acts arent going to hang orange blossoms all over me just because you feel the cold weather coming on. No thank you. Ill go back where I can be honest without getting kicked around for it.”
—John Lee Mahin (19021984)
