Famous quotes containing the word flowers:
“When an immortal passion breathes in mortal clay;
Our hearts endure the scourge, the plaited thorns, the way
Crowded with bitter faces, the wounds in palm and side,
The vinegar-heavy sponge, the flowers by Kedron stream....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Spirit of her I love,
Whispering to me,
Stories of sweet visions, as I rove,
Here stop, and crop with me
Sweet flowers that in the still hour grew,”
—John Clare (17931864)
“My father used to say,
Superior people never make long visits,
have to be shown Longfellows grave
or the glass flowers at Harvard.”
—Marianne Moore (18871972)
