Flower Constancy

Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:

    Who comes into this country, and has come
    Where golden crocus and narcissus bloom,
    Where the Great Mother, mourning for her daughter
    And beauty-drunken by the water
    Glittering among grey-leaved olive-trees,
    Has plucked a flower and sung her loss....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The Mojave is a big desert and a frightening one. It’s as though nature tested a man for endurance and constancy to prove whether he was good enough to get to California.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
