Lady Violet

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or violet:

“Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art,
A good mouth-filling oath.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
