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

    “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)

    “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)

    ““Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
    As reckless as the best of them tonight,
    By setting fire to all the brush we piled
    With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
