Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or clock:
“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because its the answer to everything. To Why am I here? To uselessness. Its the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if its a cactus.”
—Enid Bagnold (18891981)
“Up the reputable walks of old established trees
They stalk, children of the nouveaux riches; chimes
Of the tall Clock Tower drench their heads in blessing:
I dont wanna play at your house;
I dont like you any more.
My house stands opposite, on the other hill,”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
