Daisies

Famous quotes containing the word daisies:

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

“And though your daisies are an unwanted death,
I wade through the smell of their cancer
and recognize the prognosis,
its cartful of loss . . .
I say now,
you gave what you could.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“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)
