Pink Flower Petals

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

    “And I threw a little earth
    on the pink coffin
    covered by the fake plastic grass
    and said O.K., God,
    if it’s the end of the world,
    it must be necessary.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “the whole field is a
    white desire, empty, a single stem;
    a cluster, flower by flower,
    a pious wish to whiteness gone over—
    or nothing.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “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)
