—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“No Life can pompless pass away—
The lowliest career
To the same Pageant wends its way
As that exalted here—”
