Rock Rose

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or rose:

“each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight”

“All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
