Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or fyleman:

    The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
    Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
    And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
    Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
    Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
    And round his heart one strangling golden hair.
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    I think mice
    Are rather nice.

    Their tails are long,
    Their faces small,
    They haven’t any
    Chins at all.
    —Rose Fyleman (1877–1957)
