Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

    “There has fallen a splendid tear
    From the passion-flower at the gate.
    She is coming, my dove, my dear;
    She is coming, my life, my fate;
    The red rose cries, ‘She is near, she is near;’
    And the white rose weeps, ‘She is late;’
    The larkspur listens, ‘I hear, I hear;’
    And the lily whispers, ‘I wait.’”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    ““Where the tree of knowledge stands, there is always paradise”: thus speak the oldest and the youngest serpents.”
