Rose Bowl Award

Famous quotes containing the words rose, bowl and/or award:

    ‘But where can we draw water,’
    Said Pearse to Connolly,
    ‘When all the wells are parched away?
    O plain as plain can be
    There’s nothing but our own red blood
    Can make a right Rose Tree.’
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    One bowl is quiet; two bowls will clang together.
    Chinese proverb.

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
