Daisies

Famous quotes containing the word daisies:

    “When daisies pied and violets blue,
    And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
    And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
    Do paint the meadows with delight,
    The cuckoo then on every tree
    Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
    Cuckoo!
    Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Under the snow,
    Speak gently, she can hear
    The daisies grow.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “... counted the stars, my little campaigners,
    my scar daisies ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
