Petals

Famous quotes containing the word petals:

    the petals creak and
    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.
    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)

    Which shore?
    Agh, petals maybe. How
    should I know?
    Which shore? Which shore?
    I said petals from an appletree.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
