Rose Silk

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or silk:

    “O friend, my bosom said,
    Through thee alone the sky is arched,
    Through thee the rose is red,
    All things through thee take nobler form,
    And look beyond the earth,
    And is the mill-round of our fate
    A sun-path in thy worth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
    And she is dying piecemeal
    of a sort of emotional anemia.”
