Famous quotes containing the word petals:
“There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“some petals fall
with that sound one
listens for....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The sun that leaps on petals through a nought,
The come a-cropper rider of the flower.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
