Famous quotes containing the words pink, flower and/or petals:

    “It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “I see you’re a man with ideals. I guess I better be going while you’ve still got them.”

    “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)
