Hyacinths

Famous quotes containing the word hyacinths:

“I remain self-possessed
Except when a street-piano, mechanical and tired
Reiterates some worn-out common song
With the smell of hyacinths across the garden
Recalling things that other people have desired.
Are these ideas right or wrong?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Lord, the Roman hyacinths are blooming in bowls and
The winter sun creeps by the snow hills;
The stubborn season has made stand.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
