Flower Wreath Hill

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

    “So the soul, that drop, that ray
    Of the clear fountain of eternal day,
    Could it within the human flower be seen,
    Remembering still its former height,
    Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
    And, recollecting its own light,
    Does, in its pure and circling thoughts, express
    The greater heaven in an heaven less.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “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)

    “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:14.
