Flower Wreath Hill

Famous quotes containing the words flower, wreath and/or hill:

“and men strive with each other not for power or the accumulation of paper
but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game of
athletic beauty.

Then washed in the brightness of the vision,
I saw how in its radiance would grow and be nourished and suddenly
burst into terrible and splendid bloom
the blood-red flower of revolution.”
—Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

“And before, with banner red,
Through the blizzard snow unseen,
All unharmed by hail of lead,
With a step like snow so light,
Showered in myriad pearls of snow.
Crowned in wreath of roses white,
Christ leads onward as they go.”
—Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

“This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horse-back-
breaker, this huge hill of flesh.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
