Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or images:
“Slavery and servility have produced no sweet-scented flower annually, to charm the senses of men, for they have no real life: they are merely a decaying and a death, offensive to all healthy nostrils. We do not complain that they live, but that they do not get buried. Let the living bury them; even they are good for manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those images that yet
Fresh images beget,
That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
