Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:
“There grew pied wind-flowers and violets,
Daisies, those pearld Arcturi of the earth,
The constellated flower that never sets;
Faint oxlips; tender bluebells at whose birth
The sod scarce heaved; and that tall flower that wets
Its mothers face with heaven-collected tears,
When the low wind, its playmates voice, it hears.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
“Constancy in love is a perpetual inconstancy which fixes our hearts successively to all the qualities of the person lovedsometimes admiring one and sometimes another above all the restso that this constancy roves as far as it can, and is no better than inconstancy, confined within the compass of one person.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (16131680)
