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)

“Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.”
