Rock Rose

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or rose:

    And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church...
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 16:18.

    Cling with life to the maid;
    But when the surprise,
    First vague shadow of surmise
    Flits across her bosom young,
    Of a joy apart from thee,
    Free be she, fancy-free;
    Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
    Nor the palest rose she flung
    From her summer diadem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
