Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:
“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)
“The Mojave is a big desert and a frightening one. Its as though nature tested a man for endurance and constancy to prove whether he was good enough to get to California.”
—John Steinbeck (19021968)
