Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
    This Eastertide call into mind the men
    Now far from home,
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
